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!

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?

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.

My water pressure seems low. The stream of water will start off ok but then get weak. Doesn’t change when hooked up to dock water. Trying to locate where the pump is so I can investigate. Thanks

This is kinda cool. Ship submerges to carry Super Yachts similar to going through a lock. https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/ya ... t-2945874/

Greetings! When warming up my 1978 Mariner 3396 my starboard transmission lever sheared right off (see attached photo). I'm looking for a replacement (prefer to replace with original part that matches port lever). Not sure if it can be welded (two types of metal visible in photo), and if it could be, if it would actually hold given where the break is located. Greatly appreciate any leads on where to find a replacement or tips from anyone who this has happened to! Our mechanic says he's never seen anything like it. In the meantime, thankfully a vice grip is working...

Thanks!

Howdy,

I am new to CarverYachtOwners.com and I am looking for a 440 Aft Cabin. Ideally one already on Lake Texoma to avoid the transport cost. No lower helm and gas engines preferred.

Hi all,
Just wondering about your thoughts on a boat that has been dry docked for almost 2 years. Any concerns? Anything one should look at before making an offer? Obviously a survey goes without saying. Thanks!!

Just bought a 396 Carver with Twindisc EC150 electronic throttle controls. The left and right engines are out of sync so you need to push the Starboard throttle substantially farther forward to hit the same RPMs. Also they are way too touchy, and the starboard engine control is almost non-responsive the first inch or two from idle. I can't find anything about these controls online. Does anyone know where I should start?

Thanks,
Russ
