View the latest post It's official we now own a 3607 aft cabin !

- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
It's official , we are now the proud owners of a 3607 aft cabin !! We are going to winter in indoor storage and then see about transporting it from Gimli Manitoba to Kenora Ontario. ( Canada for those more southern folks )
Anyone have experiance moving one of these ? I am hearing 14 ft loaded as "Bridge Limit" but I am thinking the upper helm at least has to come off to make that number.
Thanks in advance and glad to be back here !

One of my fuel tank vent caps is missing on my 2000 356 Aft deck. Any ideas on where to buy one? Do I need to replace. Will I need to replace the vent? I see vent assemblies on line, but no cap. Thanks

Hello all, first time joining a boating forum and new to boat ownership. Glad to be aboard here...had a couple little aluminum boats, first time with a real cruiser. Glad to see that there is an active Carver owners community. Anyone that has a 2557 or 2757 Montego, please say hello as I am sure that I will have a question at some point.
Cheers,
Tomi

- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Just bought a 2003 366, with 550 hours on the engines, overall well-maintained. When the boat has shore power both engines fire right up. However, when out on the lake, if you turn the engines off to relax for a while, the port engine won't start unless you turn on the generator. Previous owner has replaced the alternator and battery within the past year.
Ideas?

Looks like I might need to change or add to my name. We sold our Carver 3365 Mariner, Grafunkus, last fall. Didn't think it would so hard to find a replacement boat but WOW, what a journey this year was. After looking at a few different boats, we contacted someone from a year ago to see if he might be interested in selling his 1997 Chris Craft Continental. What a stylish boat!! Yes he was as long as he was able to get a replacement boat of his dreams. Well, two failed tries - wouldn't want his journey!! It was a NO!! Back to our search. Answered an ad on Kijiji within 4 hours of it being posted. Doing a sea trial on a 1985 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin on Saturday!! Don't expect any problems. We will leave it docked where it currently lives and winter in the local spot. Will move it to our preferred location in Kenora ON in the spring. On that note, we had a very expensive parking spot we only used a couple of times this season!!!! Anyhoooo the new(ish) boat has the sleeping configuration we were looking for. Lots of upgrades, hardwood in the salon, bow & stern thrusters, all 200 ft of rode is chain, new fridge, convection toaster oven etc. Looking forward to an ensuite - I don't even have one at home!!! Possession date on Sept 1, we start some holidays on Sept 5. Looking forward to getting down and dirty to learn the new boat named John Bouy. I hope i didn't just jinx this!!

I’m a new owner of a 350 Mariner, question I have is: on each side of the helm station is a red light (when lit) what are these signaling? Thanks

Hey fellow Carver lovers! Looking to see if anyone ever replaced the toilet hinges on their SeaLand toilet. Mine, during our vacation, decided to show it’s age. Any leads would be great!

View the latest post Why don't more cruising boats have cabin doors?
- Posted by: obrother » August 26th, 2020, 2:38 pm
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I've been searching for a cabin cruiser with at least 2 berths/bedrooms that have their own doors so when I have guests we can have some privacy and can go to the bathroom at night without feeling embarrassed. Why don't more boats have doors? Is it a safety thing? Can you add doors and would it be legal?

View the latest post 03 396 Shore Power Question
- Posted by: 650Guy » August 26th, 2020, 9:54 am
- Forum: Electrical
Ok, I have not messed with the shore power setup since I bought my boat but am now looking at it and finding myself asking "WHY?" and "I HAVE to be able to simplify this somehow"
Current Setup from the dock to the boat:
(Dock side) Single 50A outlet -->
(Y Adapter) 50A to (2) 30A lines -->
(Each line then has a Line Adapter at the end) 30A to 50A --> Into boat
Seems like all 396's of my year have twin 50A lines into the boat.
I see so many bigger boats simply have a single 50A line come out and plug in and it seems so elegant... then there is me, Lugging out 80 adapters, piles of shore power lines, wires hanging everywhere.
Is there something I'm missing? is there a simpler way? What other 396'ers do out there? Please help me simplify!

I need to find the vent covers for intake/exhaust on the side of my 1991 430 CPMY. They measure OD 17 1/4“ x 2 1/2” The inside (hole size) is 16” x 1 7/8”. There are 8 in total covering both sides. Any ideas where I might start looking. I’m in Canada.
