Have owned my Carver for about a year and a half and love it. I have been meaning to sign up and log on so here I am. My "Lost Shaker of Salt" 3607 is moored on Lake Texoma, Texas. Looking forward to learning this site and getting to know other owners.
Thanks,'
Mike

- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Hello all.
I'm considering the purchase of a 1984 3207 as a live-aboard for 1 initially with a dog and female companion added in that order within a short period of time lol... I'm curious about any known trouble spots/ problems with these vessels? anything I should watch for? I saw the sweet interior refit for built in TV that a member did that was exactly like the mod i was thinking of doing based on the pics of the 3207s I've looked at.
however my main concern at the moment is getting the boat... I should mention that I'm in the great lakes area...
any input you folks may have to offer would be appreciated.

Any recommendations on repair or replacement of a 1999 Rairatan model 85 icemaker? It appears that the module that contains the small motor that controls the harvest of the ice may have failed. Replacement cost is $130.00 plus.
Not sure if the other components will hold up long term. New models are $1k plus.
Thanks.

I just purchased a 1999 voyager 450 and it is on its way to Boston from Ft Lauderdale. I need to buy fenders for her and I remember built in fender holders in the swim platform and deck. What size fender do they accommodate? 8" 10",or 12" ?

OK Here is a good one. My Garmin radios (I have 2) are both experiencing an issue where I can transmit, but cannot hear the recieve portion unless the squelch is all the way off. As you can imagine this is annoying as can be and a bit of a safety issue. Folks say they can hear me loud and clear. I have swapped antennas, so it is not that. Any Ideas?

We purchased our 1999 Carver 530 in April and are loving our new boating life and enjoying so many new friends. We are having an electrical problem and hope to find some ideas here.
