Anyone know what size fenders fit in the storage holes in the swim platform?

Carver Owners,

Does anyone have any idea what brand/model bow thruster is installed in the 360 SS? It appears I have lost a bow thruster blade, but the 360 SS parts manual doesn't make any mention of it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have a 1996 Carver 355 Aft Cabin in heated storage.. The auxillary fuel tank under the dive platform developed a leak.. I had the tank drained and neutralized.. My dilemma is to replace the tank or just dead head it and just not have an auxillary tank which I never used... I have been told that the boat won't ride properly without the tank because it provides ballast..A surveyor and a Carver certified repair man said thats not true.. If it was Carver would tell you to keep the tank full which they don't .. I need some advice here from someone who knows..1 Carver dealer told me it would and I just got off the phone with another carver dealer who said it wouldn't.Thanks

On the Diesel D6-370. When changing the spin on fuel filters there is a water sensor on the bottom. Before I start tugging on it, does the clip need to be removed to separate it from the fuel filter. See the attached picture.
Thanks for the help

I am looking at changing my throttle set and cables this spring before my 1987 Santego 27' goes in the water. From my research it looks like the Teleflex CH7800 control W/tilt,trim on handle is the best choice for a throttle set.

Has anyone here done the replacement themselves?

What length of cables would I need to purchase for the replacement.

The boat is currently out of the water and I was looking at doing this before I put her back in in mid-may.

Thanks

Hi, I am Bob Waz and under contract for a 1995 Carver 380 Santego with 350HP Crusaders. The decision was finding a reasonably priced boat that is dog friendly to our 3 larger dogs. In getting them on board with the steps on platform and up to the bridge is perfect, Also the cabin being roomy with basically no steps is great. We do our boating on northern Lake Champlain, NY. It is law but not currently enforced to have a grey water tank. This is something I will do and if any others have done this would appreciate feed back. We are in our 60s now and found the name KNOT AGAIN! to be quite fitting. We have owned many boats in our past but the 2 larger ones were a 34 Hatteras Sport Cruiser and a 36 Island Gypsy quad cabin.

First large boat to me, 2005 396 MY. We love it and are so excited for warm weather to get here. Kept on Lake Texoma here in Texas. Glad to have found the group, I have found a lot of useful info on here!

Prospective purchaser of a 2007 42 SS, coming out of a beloved 380 Sea Ray but need more room and love the marque. We are getting two wildly different opinions on shipping the boat from Ft. Lauderdale to Atlanta. The trucking company representative tells me they have done this model before, and all that has to be done is pull the props, the rudders (not sure if the shafts come out), the arch and the bimini. The marina I was having pull the boat and do the work tells me I am out of my mind, that the entire superstructure has to come off and be shipped separately, and that 80 man hours to disassemble is a fair estimate. Since those two shipping options are roughly $30,000 apart, I would like to ask anyone with any direct knowledge what their thoughts are. It would be greatly appreciated.*

I suspect the correct answer is...pull the boat and measure. However, I'm 750 miles away and hope I can at least start with institutional knowledge. Thanks!

Hello,
We just purchased a 1983 Carver 3207 Aft Cabin with twin 270 crusaders. It has been well kept and the previous owners have been great with sharing all the extras. This is our first boat like this and we are very excited to start using it this summer. I picked up a few things here and there prior to deciding to buy it, but I have a lot to learn about it.

Hi all,
My wife and I just bought a Carver 1999 406 aft motor yacht. It has twin 7.4 L Crusader gas engines.
We are trying to get some kind of a range of fuel consumption at different rpm levels.
Any ideas please.
Thanks, John
