Carver Owners Forum

Hello everyone,

Just would like to say this a good forum to share experiences with similar boats. My wife and I are very avid boaters and purchased a 2001 Carver 466 MY recently. We also have a Formula 419 Fastech with triple Mercury Racing 500 EFI's. Both of our boats are on Lake Travis in Texas. So far we have really enjoyed the Carver with the room and amentities. We have both been boating for over 30 years. The cruiser scene is new to us, but I know we are going to like it.

Does anyone know if the 96 355 has one reverse rotation motor?

We own a 2003 Carver 564. Yacht has four ac/heat air handlers in the main cabin. All operate of a single raw water pump. We have two compressors in the engine room. Is it normal for the water pump and subsequently the compressors to come on only if the main salon is calling for heat. When the forward cabin and master cabin calls for heat, the compressor does not come on until the main salon compressor comes on.

Here in N Texas we are having a 5 day typical north pole comes in once or twice a winter event. My 2000 Mariner 350 has engine compartment heater on the panel. Question is whether to turn this on when I will not be able to get to the boat for 2 or 3 days.

Can someone share with me the best way to access the lines under the aft cabin floor to service or replace septic lines. We are at a loss to find where smells are coming from. The vac flush in the forward cabin is fine but the conventional toilet in aft is a problem. Other wise the 396 is a great boat. Thanks George

I am a new member to this board. Purchased an 1986 Carver 3207 Aft Cabin in May. The boat is located at Fell Point, Baltimore, MD. As a new boat owner, I anticipate having many question for this site. Thank you.

I just read in one of our industry news outlets, that Carver is launching a 37 Coupe by end of 2013! I am really excited to read this as I think they should have never retired the Montego (and Santego) boat models...but enhanced and redesigned accordingly. I have no idea how it looks, but am VERY excited to read this news. I had an inkling about this coming when I talked to one of the factory reps about express boats, and he said..."you never know what might happen" :clap:

Hi Folks,
Has anyone looked into using industrial 2 volt batteries for house batteries? I currently have 4 - 6 volt L16 batteries for my house batteries that are 8-9 years old now. I've been talking to a friend of mine who owns a battery store, and he's recommending these fork lift batteries for my house batteries. I need lots of amp hours because I'm running a 110 volt fridge in my Carver 4207 Carver.
Ideas any one?
Thanks

I would like to ask this forum to please help me find info such as where to find info on manuals, outdrives (bravo 1/2), specs and so forth. Appreciate any help. Thank you!

I just bought my brother-in-laws 1986 3207 aft cabin. He owned it with his father who became I'll and wanted out. My question is regarding the installation of a windlass system. Which brand fits this boat. They had attempted installing one, but ordered one from catalog. I'm looking for brand and model that someone else has working on their boat. Thanks.
