Calling all Mariner 360 Owners
We've had a 2004 Mariner 360 for about a year now and like it for the most part. The crusader 6.0s seem great, love how it's almost all FWC. I've learned a lot about this boat over the past year so I am sure I can offer advice to any new or existing owners.
General question, though, do all these models sit bow heavy? Has anyone figured out why? We can't even completely empty our holding tank because it sits on a slight angle.
And has anyone figured out why when in heavy seas, so much water collects in the forward bilge? The forward bilge hose does have a loop so I am not sure why it would siphon there and if it's not there, from where? And if somewhere on the aft bilges, would that also suggest the potable tank might be taking on sea water through the overflow?
Thanks!

Re: Calling all Mariner 360 Owners
In heavy seas, can water get in your anchor locker through the winch or any storage doors in the bow?
You should definitely not have an issue with seas getting in the potable "overflow" (it's actually a vent). The vent should be located a few feet above the water line and have a loop in it that would go even further up. I would be concerned about contaminating the potable water if sea water was actually getting in there.

The actor locker is accessed through the forward stateroom but actually drains out the bow and not to the bilge.

We always wondered why that was
We ended up buying a 95 older style

Re: Calling all Mariner 360 Owners
This will be especially evident if you run the boat between hull speed ( 7Kn) and on plane around (15Kn).
My opinion anyway.

We have been Carver owners for over 20 years, previously had a Santego.
Thank you…

I've only had water in the FWD bilge when the Shower sump failed and filled with water.
