View the latest post 1989 Carver Santego 2767 RPM Question


I have a Carver Santego 2767 with twin 4.3 Mercruisers. I am not sure if my RPM gauges are showing accurate information. I
cruise at about 28 MPH at 1900 RPM on each engine but when I read some of the other posts it seems that the RPM needs to be significantly higher for me to hit that speed. Are my gauges wrong and is it possible for both gauges to be wrong?

View the latest post Not engaging into gear right away


I have a 1990 Carver santego with twin volvo pentas. Shifting into neutral has always been tricky. It's almost like I have to shift past neutral first before it will go into neutral but I just got used to doing that. Now a new problem that just happened, is when going into reverse it didn't engage right away until I gave it more throttle then it made a loud slam into gear. The first time I noticed something wasn't right is when I was pulling in my slip and put the port engine into reverse, in and out quickly just to slow me down, and it didn't go into gear so I quickly through the starboard engine in reverse. Has anyone else had this problem or know what it could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Lisa

View the latest post Carver 396 Throttle Cable Length


I have a 2000 Carver 396 / Cummins 5.9L that will need throttle cables replaced. I can’t find any markings at helm end or engine end that indicate length. Anyone have insights on the lengths of the four cables? They seem to be 10-32 ends (rather than 1/4-28). Was trying to avoid pulling one to measure before ordering replacements. Thanks in advance.

View the latest post Attachment(s) 1987 Carver 3697 Mariner Props


Hello! I am the new owner of a 1987 3697. I have done lots of work on the boat thus far and use it every weekend.
This sunday I hit something (probably a rock) and damaged a prop based on vibration after the hit. I will go under the boat in the next week and check the shaft, rudders,etc. and see what props are on the boat and make sure nothing else got hurt. I am interested in the stock proppeller size pitch and bore to see if I can find a spare set. What were the "stock" Props? Thanks!

View the latest post Attachment(s) Bilge Blowers


I have a 2000 450 Voyager and none of the blowers are working. Engines on or off, no air flow. Breakers in the salon panel all show on bilge blowers # thru 4 on and not tripped. I crawled behind the starboard fuel tank and I can see the ducts running the the engine bulkhead, but don't see anything that looks like a fan or blower motor. I do see a white, round connection, slightly larger than the duct... Is that the motor?? Thanks
