Good Morning All,
Ok, it is not as bad as it sounds. I have never used a twin engine before, but understand the concept from my skid loader and zero turn lawn mower. I am driving relatively well but seem to have a problem in one of the easiest areas.
I have the boat backed in and the dock is on the port side. When I leave, I seem to have a problem not rubbing the boat on the dock. At good suggestions?

Good Morning All,
I have lots of beautiful railings, however once you grab them and are nervous because of the massive movement, they become less attractive. I am sure everybody has this problem sooner or later. They are suppose to have the little Allen screws (or whatever you call them). Some are missing, some are stripped, some were replaced with rivets and some were replaced with stainless steel screws. Uggg!!!
So what would be the correct way to fix these problem fittings? Any great suggestions out there?

Good Morning All,
I have 4 thru-hull drains that sit in gutters where the water from the cock put is routed. It does not feel like the type that have threads and a nut, but some sort of push in. The are ~3/4" in diameter. And ideas where to buy something like this? All 4 are brittle and falling apart.

- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Good Morn' All,
So my maiden voyage was not really that good at all. The engines idle great. I got to the harbor mouth with the whole family, hit the throttle on the engines, we went maybe 100' and both engines died suddenly. Uggg!!! We were just outside of the harbor mouth and had to drop anchor.
Early that day I had to get gas, seemed ok but the gas never was close to the vent. It came up the fill hole. Thinking about that and then pulling the gas line off while we were sitting there, I found there was no gas. I looked at the vent line and it went from the gas tank, down to the floor and then back out. Hmmm....not good. I pulled the vent off, full of gas, routed the line straight up then back down the the actual vent. Had to drive back and drop off the kids that were sick from the 3 footers out there. Went back out, hit the gas and died again! Only the port engine this time.
So I suspect it is a fuel filter problem. Now I have a problem because I cannot find replacement fuel filters. They are SMI 'SMF-911' fuel filters. Anyone have any ideas where to get these from?

We have a 1987 3207 and I want to put a Humminbird 1158 up on the flybridge. I don't really want to mount the transducer on the transom and was thinking of using one the two locations mid-ships that there are old thru hull transducers mounted now. Has anyone else done something like this? Humminbird makes an angled thru hull transducer. Would this work better? Is the post next to the helm station the chase for getting wiring, etc up to the bridge? Thanks.

My husband Michael and I purchased our 1982 Carver 3007 aft cabin last November. We have noodled around our area (Vancouver, Canada) a bit over the winter. We are planning a short trip along the Sunshine Coast later this week.
Our boat is equipped with an International Harvester Diesel 9.0l engine - having searched online, it does not appear that there were many built with these. Does anyone else out there have one?
We are looking forward to being a part of this forum.
Cheers,
Eileen

Hey all,
So Carver made a special box in the hull for a transducer installation. I pulled out the old one and found that it is dead in the middle of the 'V' bottom. There is no really good way to expoxy my transducer to it. They had a through hull transducer hanging from the top of the box and surrounded in antifreeze. Do you think if I hang the transducer that is really meant for the transom mount that it will work? Has anybody used this box for a transducer before?

Has anybody else had any problems with wifi at their home ports? I a, having inconsistent issues. It seems if I go on the pier to the front of the boat, it comes in fine. If I go to the pier on the back of the boat, hardly connects. I am within 100' of the repeater they put up. It almost seems as if the boats themselves are causing interference. It seems like I connect well and the bars seem full but the speeds are horrible.
Got me? Us anybody tried a wifi extender?

I am considering buying a 1981 Carver 3007 aft cabin and having it shipped from MI to FL. Conflicting reports about whether to remove the bridge or just props and windshield. Can anyone weigh in on this one? The boat is a great price and I hate to give it up- but the bridge removal worries me. Thanks!
