Carver Owners Forum

Just foind this forum and wanted to say hello. I've been cruising on the Trent Severn in Canada for the last 12 years and for the last 4 of them I''ve been the proud owner of a Carver 3007.

I love my pocket yacht and hope to get some great ideas and tips off this forum !

We are in the process of refurbishing the upper helm panels on our 1992 Carver 28 Aft Cabin. I need to replace the original aluminum dash and instrument panels to accommodate modern electronics.
Does anyone have any drawings of these panels that could be used for a fabricator?
Does anyone have a panel that was replaced, that still has the old panel?
Does anyone have a recommendation to have these replaced?
Does anyone know if there is any NOS panels available?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
John

I have a 1988 36' mariner aft cabin. The pump for my ac units isn't working correctly. The macerator on the pump turns very slow to where its not pushing any water through the lines.I removed it and took it to a shop and had it bench tested. Works perfect and shows no sign of wear. I cleaned the strainer on the inlet after the ballcock. When the pump turns on it stops running after about 30 seconds. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing this to not work.

Good Morning All,
So I wanted to scare the kids in front of the boat and found that the thing I thought was a horn is a hailing speaker. What is this the purpose for this?

I now have to reconnect the thing I thought was a broken radio!

So I had my sewage tank pumped like a month ago. My son recently filed the whole thin up with water, what can u do? I told everyone, no toilet until I get it pumped out again. It was so full that I had to scoop out pee and water from the toilet to keep it off the floor.

Yesterday I went to get it pumped out again. Nothing would pump out. They said it was empty. I knew that was not possible. I dig around, looked under the floor, looked under the frig and found a pump. It is the macerator pump. It pumps my full 9 gallon tank to a much larger tank under the floor where it can be pumped out.

Ok feeling stupid but thankful that I now know how to work that part

Good Morning All,
So my last trip I had a low oil light go off for the Walter V-Drives. What oil do I put into the drives? Do I just pour it into the dip stick hole?
Thanks

I hoping by getting the info from people who know i can avoid some pitfalls.

Done a ton of reading been to the local Marinas here a few times,know some boat techs ( i did cars for 30 years)
and been on a few forums.With all that the Carver hands down is what i want.The wife and i will be spending a few weekends and longer a a few times some friends would be along some comfort and not being crunched in on each is important and no one does all that like Carver.

Wanting a little advice on my first boat ( yeah im a real newbie ) what to look for and just how you like your Carver.

Thanks all.

Have a 2005 Carver Mariner and have noticed that the water tank (70 gallons) is leaking and over a weekend period all 70 gallons of water will leak out (I guess into the bowels of the hull.

1. Does anyone know where the water tank is located and how to gain access?. The fill is on the port side of the bow.

2. Has anyone had a severe water tank leak and if so, what was the cause? I suspect it may be a fitting on the bottom of the tank but I guess I have to find the tank first???

Thanks for any help.
