View the latest post Moss in window tracks


I have a new to me 3807 with moss growing in the tracks of all of the sliding windows. I had the same problem on my 3207. The problem with both models is removing the glass to clean the tracks. Any idea how to get the glass out or how to clean the tracks with the glass in?

My wife and I recently purchased a new to us, 97 320 Voyager.

Transporting vessel from Lake Ontario to the beautiful south shore of Nova Scotia
Having owned a Trojan F-26 for the last 19yrs, and we are looking forward to the upgrade.
Any members out there who wish to share tips, opinions, likes are welcome to reply.

View the latest post Removing and re-seating a large sealed window.


I have a 2000 406, it has large sealed windows. One of them has pulled away from the caulk along the bottom edge. Just spent the day cleaning all the old caulk out on all 4 sides. My first question is, did Carver use any sort of retaining clips to hold the window in place? I ask because I discovered 6 holes that are dilled into the fiberglass in stategic places,(I think the window had been removed at some point, as the starboard engine has been worked on). Also any ideas on how to free the glass from the frame without damaging it and lastly, any recommendations on what to use to re-caulk. I was thinking of 3M's 4000 but I see alot of people recommend Butyl tape, though would'nt I still need to caulk as well. I would appreciate any advice you can offer, Thanks.

Hi, My wife and I own a 2000 Carver 406 with diesels. Purchasd it back in October of 2011. I've been working on it ever since. We love the layout and space, with 2 children and 2 small dogs we still don't feel cramped. We have always preferred Carver, owned a 355 back in the 90's, oh what memories! My latest project is re-seating the large fixed glass window on the port side. Does anyone hve any experience with this issue? The bottom of the window has pulled way from the bottom of the seal. Is there any sort of bracket that holds the glass in place or is it just adhesive/caulk? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

View the latest post Newbie 2557 Carver Montego


G'day all,
Just bought our second Carver Montego, this one is a little more manageable for us thank our first (32'Montego) We love Carvers, even though we're not extremely experienced boaters.
We had the first one for about 5 years but didn't get out much due to engine issues, but we spent many weekends tied to the dock... We traded out of her into a 24' Maxum which we owned for 3 years, this was a much easier boat to handle being inexperienced, it was the boat that actually made us boaters, since we zipped around the bay and out into the coastal waters almost every weekend, we built our confidence with it.
Unfortunately it took on water at the dock and the insurance company totaled her.
We just sea trialled our new used Carver and we love her, same solid Carver construction and layout, we're looking forward to many hours out on the water, down in San Diego's gorgeous Quivera Bay.

View the latest post Newbie 466 Carver Naples FL


I am new to boating, and this is my first boat. I am learning quickly and looking forward to the season. I am a snowbird, so I will start my boating in October. I may sneak down to Florida for a quick week of boating. I have enjoyed reading the past post to educate myself on boating and the Carvers. I currently have my boat docked at a brokers dock in Cape Coral, as he is caring for the boat, untill I move it to Naples in OCtober. If any of you know of a preffered dock in Naples, please let me know. I am sure I will reach out and ask questions, as I get more involved with boating.

View the latest post Inacurate Flo-Scans


I have a 1997 325 aft cabin with two 350 Crusaders. Flo-Scans were installed somewhere along the way by a previous owner. The starboard seems to work, but it jumps around a bit at times, and the total fuel used is way low. The port needle never comes off the peg, except to bounce around every now and then. Total fuel used on that side shows almost nothing.
Anybody recommend where I should start looking for this problem?

View the latest post canvas


I'm new to boating and I wanted to know where I could buy canvas items like the standard cover for the summer and the camper zip up canvas with windows for when you sleep on it.

Kind regards

View the latest post Attachment(s) Rudder Position Indicator


Hey all,
I've put up with this small issue for almost a year now and want to know how to fix it.

My rudder position indicator gauge, when the boat is going straight, is deflected almost a quarter needle to starboard. Does anyone know how to adjust the sending unit or gauge to center the indicator?

Not a big deal but I like stuff to work like it is supposed to work.

Thanks in advance.

Steve
