View the latest post Attachment(s) 3607 Microwave to Oven Swap


Yes, more questions......

Has anyone swapped out the oven for a microwave set up?

How tough is the job? Can it convert back if required?

Do you get more use from the microwave than the oven?

For me a microwave is more useful and the galley just isn't very roomy for a microwave but I've seen pictures of a swap.

View the latest post Replace Raymarine VHF


I have a 2005 carver 41 CPY and the RAY 54 VHF radio needs to be replaced. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I cannot find an access point to get behind the radio to remove/install.

View the latest post Need Boat Buying Advice


Hello,
I am new to this forum. I currently do not own a Carver, but I am seriously considering it. I am looking at a 1977 Carver Santa Cruz with a 240 Penta stern drive. It appears to me to be well maintained. If anyone could tell me anything about this model it would be greatly appreciated. Value, pros,cons adn stuff to look out for. Thanks

View the latest post Water draining from sundeck roof


Good morning, Had a great weekend here in Virginia Beach for boating. But like most weekend always find something to do. I have a 2005 model 396 new to me about 2 months now and really like the boat. I have been noticing that after a heavy rain brown rusty water is draining from the hard top (over the aft sun deck) through the small white nylon inserts in each of the rear corners. I have to believe these were meant to be air vents and not drains because why would you want water inside the hard top. Just thought I would check and see if anybody else out there has had this problem and where it might be entering from. It sure makes a mess when it drains down the side of the boat. Thanks Bob

Hello everyone.
Joined this past week. Lifelong boat lover. Currently have a 1974 Carver Monterey 25', 255 OMC, which I purchased last summer.
The boat had been in inside storage for 23 years according to the registration sticker. Was concerned about the condition of the
fuel (Gas) tank and couldn't find anyone local that would/could clean it. I removed the gas gauge sending unit and, low and behold,
the tank was completely full of 1991 gasoline. Smelled fresh too. Talked with a couple boat mechanics and was told to try to try to
start using the old gas. After installing a completely new fuel/water separating system, I did just that, and she started right up and
purred like one of my cats. :-)
Tried all the lights etc and everything worked with the exception of the bilge pump, which I replaced.
I removed the electronics, Loran, and a dated, paper trace, depth sounder. I have a GPS and VHF radio I will be installing soon.
She's not the prettiest boat afloat but, she's all mine. Will use this summer to get all the mechanics checked out and working
properly. Then the work on the Teak starts. I have to get the windshields in shape this year. They have been leaking, have some
black staining and the PO tried using silicone to seal the glass which didn't work and looks like crap...
Any suggestions on how to go about fixing both windshields? The glass seems to be good and I would reuse it.
I'm so excited about this boat I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve... :-)

Got a 1986 3607 and the throttle controls are tough and not very smooth to operate.

Anyone rebuilt the throttle controls before?
