Hello fellow carver owners, I recently bought a1997 355 MY and am looking for an OEM replacement bridge and aft enclosure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already contacted brian at carver, they no longer have patterns.

View the latest post Carver 440 exhaust problem
- Posted by: peterrenton » August 23rd, 2014, 1:20 pm
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
I have Cummins 475 hp engines. The exhaust is terminated through 45 degree elbows at the transom and out past the swim platform. My probelm is a tremendous amount of sooting that is accumulating both over my dinghy mounted at the rear of the swim platform and all over the stern of the boat. Has anyone ever tried extending the exhaust pipes to the rear edge of the swim platform to stop this. The engines are in tune with no issues. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
Just picked up my Carver 406 Aft Cabin last weekend and so far am really enjoying it. I traded up from a 1997 Sea Ray 400 Sundancer and we are really enjoying the extra comforts and roominess of the Carver. I would be very interested in communicating with other 406 owners to talk about their experiences with their own boats.
Happy boating!
Dave

View the latest post gasket on flybridge steering?
- Posted by: Abear » August 20th, 2014, 6:20 pm
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I own a great 3207 that has been in my family since 86. My only concern is my flybridge steering is leaking hydraulic fluid from the front of the console. I undid the bolts, thinking I needed to find a bleed valve. Since this, it leaks. Is there a gasket or should I just make my own?

View the latest post Deck railing skirt material
- Posted by: porbe » August 20th, 2014, 9:54 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
On my 1995 325 AFT the hard panels on the outside of the rails are missing. This is the railing on the deck just above the aft berth. It appears they were cut off as I can see grinder marks on the railing where some of the mounting holes are.
My wife wants hard side skirting vs. canvas. I'm going to DIY this but have them custom cut. Does anyone know what material I should use? Where can I find the stand offs Anyone done this before or have some tips?
Thanks in advance.

- Posted by: Tommyfmu » August 19th, 2014, 4:23 pm
- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
Hi, we're new here. We've had our 325 AC '96 for about 4 years now. Port eng rebuilt 3 yrs ago, stbd rebuilt 1 yr ago. We boat out of Freeport, Long Island, NY. This is our 4th boat, having started with a 19' Dynasty cuddy, 24 ft Chris Craft Euro express cruiser, then a few years off until we got a Maxum 2400 SCR mid cabin pocket cruiser with AC.
I've done many improvements to the Carver from radar arch, to high bilge alarm, to the most recent replacement of twin cooktops to Induction ; best upgrade yet !
Tom (& Liz).

- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I have a 1997 325 Aft Cabin with 350 Crusaders. The manual says there are anti-syphon valves in the fuel system, and recommends inspecting/cleaning them. The book does not show you where they are located or what they look like. Can anybody give me this information?
Thanks

Hello,
Sitting here on my 466 and all the monitors started beeping. I believe the signal is for low power. How does one ascertain if power fell?
Thanks
