Carver Owners Forum

I have an '89 Carver 4207 with twin Cat 3208's (375 HP). We plan to take the boat every weekend once we get some repairs taken care of. How often should we be starting up the engines, how long should we run them for and at what RPM?

Anyone have any thoughts on why the aft head does not fill? I hit the fill side of the switch and nothing. The flush works as does the drain side of the fill/drain rocker switch.

Thanks!

I have been looking around for spiral stairs that go from the swim platform up to the aft deck on a 3607 without any success. So subsequently decided to have them made by a local metal fabricator at a cost of approximately $2400.

Then I was told about a company in Pennsylvania that will do them for under $1,000.

Has anybody ever heard of/know anything about, Salter Spiral Stairs?

the 76 mariner i just got had brand new shifter and throttle cables..... but the levers themselves are shop, are these fairly easy to come by or are they very specific to carvers?

We own a 1990 Carver Santego. There is a large window hatch directly above the berth which I love because it brings in great light and fresh air. The drawback is when it's cold outside (cold like in So. California cold) the window sweats from condensation. I have to cram a cushion up into it to collect the drops of water to keep it from dripping onto the bed/pillows. We do keep an air drier going while we're away during the week but when I show up on weekends, the cushion is usually still wet and goes outside to dry out.

Any suggestions on how to circumvent this issue???

Hi all, looking forward to meeting new folks and getting some other opinions, help and suggestions for our Carvers.

Also maybe I can offer a it'd bit or two for others :pirate:

I just purchased a 1989 Model 4207. The manual on the boat says the 4207's have (2) 200 gallon diesel fuel tanks. The sales listing for the boat said it had 200 gal TOTAL capacity. Did all the 4207's that had the diesel CAT 3208's have 400 gal. total capacity?

Hi..last year I purchased a 2005 carver 36 motor yacht....we are from Ontario and do most of our boating in the Great lakes...this is my first Motor yacht and we just love it....I like to do all my own maintenance but I find the engine compartment very tight and very hard to access some items....for example,how do you get at the transmission to change fluids and filter...it has 8.1 crusaders with the hurth transmissions.I am hoping to get some info or tricks on this...Thanks...Looking forward to being a part of this forum.

has anyone changed transmission fluid on 2004-05 carver366 motor yacht with 8.1 crusader engines and hurth transmissions,if so how did you access both filters...not alot of room to get at transmissions...am I missing any access openings ????? thanks

Ok, can you tell I am new to my Carver, here another question before I dig in. The starboard fuel gauge is not working. Can you point me in the right direction for where the sending unit might be. Thanks again
