Boat is a 1995 Carver 310 Santego with 5.0L Mercs and Alpha sterndrives (counter rotating). Does anyone know what these boats came with for props originally by chance?
TIA
I have twin OMC 3.8L with 800 series stringers with hydraulic selectrim.
My dash gauges are backwards, so up is down and vice versa. It was this way when I got the boat, workable, but now i've repaired most of the bigger things and am starting to pick away at the annoyances.
So...is it as...
Neither of the two bromar hatches on my boat have screens. I cant find a screen system for it, so i suspect i have to make one. I would like to stay away from those externals with the weighted linings that you drap over your hatch.

Lovely things like, when i turn my boat pump on it squirts water out at my neighbours boat (or the kids) via the shore water...
I've searched and read quite a few posts but have not been able to find an answer.
What is the best technique for calculating your GPH? I know weather conditions have a major influence on it, but how do i get a fairly accurate base understanding?
The second part of my conundrum is I don't know...
After reading a post about people launching their boats with trailer attached (I have to see this in my lifetime), I got to thinking about funny and peculiar things I have seen people do with their boats.
This past summer, i watched a guy with a 28 foot carver water ski behind it :confused:

I have twin 1985 OMC 3.8L Stringers.
The engine was flushed by a mechanic, but now in hindesite, I'm thinking about the hoses that run from the exhaust manifold to the hot water heater. Would that have been flushed during the engine flush or is it a separate process?
I just purchased my new beauty but i know the cockpit seating area is not original or extremely practical. I believe it i supposed to have a captains seat and small bench, but i'm not sure.
does anyone have a pic of an original layout that i can reference? Would love to put her back to where...
