My tachometer and volt meter is consistently chattering in sync very erratically. any suggestions of a possible culprit ?
Thanks for any help!

Just purchased a 1988 2757 montego used from a dealer/broker in michigan. I live in central new york and the boat will reside in cape vincent (st Lawrence river). I bought it based on pictures and phone conversations. I haven't seen it in person yet but the price was right so I'm confident I did good providing they were honest with me. It's powered by 2 4.3lx motors and alpha drives. It's well equipped with normal things we all add. It has a trailer included in the deal which was big for me. It should be here in the next 2 weeks depending on how long the title search and the transportation service takes. I'm hoping I did good. Ray

Today, with the first full day of Spring, I start my polishing process of PartnerShip. It'll be 3 steps this year, plus wax. I'll post pics if it turns out as good as I hope it does...not that she needs a lot, but who doesn't want a boat that looks new? Last season she looked really good...this season, she should have the depth and shine of new (or better). For anyone wondering, I am using all 3M products except for the wax...Imperial compound, Perfect It 2, and Finesse it 2, finishing with Mequires Flagship wax.

Any suggestions on what has/ has not worked well for you? We just picked up this 1990 3807 and apart from the fridge and the bar (not that I'm complaining!), there is nothing there. As there is a banquette in the galley, do we really need another table and chairs? Maybe just chairs and a coffee table? I'm open to ideas and photos if you have them. We're generally travelling with 4-6 people aboard. Thanks!

Just joined the forum. Late fall purchase of a 1990 3807 has me ITCHING for the summer. That... and I still have to sell me 1984 3207!

Lovin me my Carvers!

I have owned my Voyager for just over a year now. I just noticed however that the glass on the master cabin ceiling and master head ceiling has cracks around the circular light fixture that extends through the glass. Not sure if they have been there all along. When the light is on you can't see it.

I'm going to hope it is just the way it is and that they are not growing. But... if it does has anyone had to replace this glass?

Appreciate the input as always.

Hello Everyone,

We just purchased our first Carver, a 1982 3007 Aft Cabin a couple months ago. Lots of small winter projects to complete but mechanically sound. Previous owner had both Crusader 220's recently rebuilt and they look and sound great. The first of many projects I'd like to tackle are rebuilding the 3 helm seats and the bench on the fly bridge. The previous owner left them exposed to the elements so there dried and cracked. I also want to re-finish all cabinet doors and draws. The white "paper" looking stuff is falling out and looks bad. The headliner in the aft cabin also needs to be replaced... I could go on and on! I'll post my progress in the "Project Center" and hopefully get some advise.

We're looking forward to many wonderful days on Buzzards Bay!

I have a 1980 2667 Santa Cruz, I have the upper and lower stations and need oil pressure and water temp. senders, I removed the original Volvo 350 and sold it with the senders. Anyone know part numbers or values of the original senders . I think the senders have to be for duel station. Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

Hope someone can help, just finished restoring a 25' Carver Camper with OMC 235 (351W) and Stringer outdrive. I'm getting around 15-16 knots at around 3400 RPM. Does that sound about right? My question is, What should my max RPM/Speed be once i break the engine in? Is it ok to run these engines WOT? Also does anyone know if the stock propeller is good or should I consider a different pitch prop for higher top speed? Thanks!
