We have a 1987 3207 and I want to put a Humminbird 1158 up on the flybridge. I don't really want to mount the transducer on the transom and was thinking of using one the two locations mid-ships that there are old thru hull transducers mounted now. Has anyone else done something like this? Humminbird makes an angled thru hull transducer. Would this work better? Is the post next to the helm station the chase for getting wiring, etc up to the bridge? Thanks.

My husband Michael and I purchased our 1982 Carver 3007 aft cabin last November. We have noodled around our area (Vancouver, Canada) a bit over the winter. We are planning a short trip along the Sunshine Coast later this week.

Our boat is equipped with an International Harvester Diesel 9.0l engine - having searched online, it does not appear that there were many built with these. Does anyone else out there have one?

We are looking forward to being a part of this forum.
Cheers,
Eileen

Hey all,

So Carver made a special box in the hull for a transducer installation. I pulled out the old one and found that it is dead in the middle of the 'V' bottom. There is no really good way to expoxy my transducer to it. They had a through hull transducer hanging from the top of the box and surrounded in antifreeze. Do you think if I hang the transducer that is really meant for the transom mount that it will work? Has anybody used this box for a transducer before?

Has anybody else had any problems with wifi at their home ports? I a, having inconsistent issues. It seems if I go on the pier to the front of the boat, it comes in fine. If I go to the pier on the back of the boat, hardly connects. I am within 100' of the repeater they put up. It almost seems as if the boats themselves are causing interference. It seems like I connect well and the bars seem full but the speeds are horrible.

Got me? Us anybody tried a wifi extender?

I am considering buying a 1981 Carver 3007 aft cabin and having it shipped from MI to FL. Conflicting reports about whether to remove the bridge or just props and windshield. Can anyone weigh in on this one? The boat is a great price and I hate to give it up- but the bridge removal worries me. Thanks!

Well I tried my first carb overhaul this weekend. The starboard endine was running very rich and was running uneven...not a consistent miss, but just uneven. The plugs were dry, black and sooty (rich condition). At idle I could see fuel at a steady and heavy drip in the carb...

I thought maybe needle and seat, but it turned out to be a stuck open power valve. It was dumping fuel all the time.

I bought a kit and tried my first overhaul, which scared me. I soaked everything overnight, cleaned, checked and double checked everything. Now she runs perfect. I just need to change the plugs.

I just purchased a ac/heat unit for my 28 mariner. I was wondering where the factory location is.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. I've been told to cut a hole in the salon floor and remove most of the engine. I've also been told to cut a hole in the hull and slide the tank out laterally. Which is the best way to do this; personally I don't have a clue. By the way, I'm not going to do the work myself. This is beyond my capability. Any ideas on this will be greatly appreciated.

My wife and I have a 42' Aft Cabin Carver. Our homeport is Smithfield Station, VA. We like to cruise the James River and tribs as well as the ICW.
