- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I went to the boat show last week and wandered over to The Marquis/ Carver display , I had a very nice chat with Reg Garnett, Director of Service at Executive Yachts . I look forward to seeing the new office in Toronto and doing business with them. With respect to Crates and their decades of service to the Ontario boaters , I'm very happy that Marquis / Carver in Pulaski has made this quick announcement . I like many boaters need Dealer support for our boating needs.

- Posted by: justtls » January 12th, 2015, 1:50 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Greetings, Just purchased 1989 3807 with the 454 Mercruisers and Borg Warner drives. When I put the Transmission levers in the Neutral Position to start the engines, the Starboard engine starts in forward gear, Cant seem to find a neutral position and I cant figure out why the (Neutral) safety switch didnt prevent the motor from starting. Good thing the boat was securely tied down to a sturdy pier. Has anyone seen this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Apparently, Carver is unveiling a new 43 ft Coupe in Miami in February. I am glad to see them increasing the model lineup! Also, they restyled the C40 Bridge with new hull windows and an available hardtop. Both features really improve the overall look of the yacht!

Hi all. We are researching for a boat for our next adventure. This will be our journey on the Great Loop. We hope to start in September and are currently looking for a vessel to accomplish this.
Looking forward to all the wisdom we can get from the group as well as guidance from those that have "been there done that".

View the latest post Rule 3700 sump bilge air lock
- Posted by: enproep » January 5th, 2015, 6:55 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
Hello: I have a Carver 530 Voyager and have an issue with my sump box bilge pump. It seems to get an airlock and continuously run not sucking up any water. It works fine while at dock or at a very calm anchorage. Basically, while sitting at the dock, the water in the sump box remains low and level, switch is only on with incoming grey water. Nothing to pump unless the float is tripped from incoming grey. Head out to sea, the same amount of low water remaining sloshes indicting more water than is actually there, the float switch turns on the pump, and the pump sucks up water and air until it stops sucking up water for some reason (the air it sucks up creates and airlock possibly?) It then runs continuously without sucking up any water. When we get back to the dock we can take a shower and the sump box fills up and overflows even with the pump running (it's running but not sucking up water). I then disconnect it (cut a power wire) and then reconnect it and it works fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Bob
