    Sea Doo Challenger

    I am in the process of looking for a Sea Doo Challenger and I know nothing about them. The years I am looking at are 1996 - 2000 just because of the cost. My main use is as a tender between land and my anchored boat, so my dog can do his business and bring guests to the boat. Is there any year...

    7.4L Mercruiser exhaust manifold

    I need to change the exhaust manifolds on my 7.4L Mercruiser inboard. As I search the net for them I've found quite a few that say they are for my engine, but the prices vary up to $400.00 From ones that say salt water only to ones that are for fresh water only and of course ones that are...

    Oil sending unit 7.2l Mercruiser

    My oil pressure gauge is not showing any reading at any rpm, so I'm guessing that it'snot the oil pump but either the sending unit or the gauge. Where is the sending unit located on the engine ?

    Carver owners

    I thought it would be a good idea for all Carver owners to get together and trade problems, repairs and anything that comes to mind. I have a 1989 Carver 3607 and I'm in the process of replacing the refrigerator. I chose a NovaKool RFU9000 12 volt only model. Now I need to figure out how my...

    12 volt or 12/110 volt fridge

    What is the difference between a 12volt dc only fridge or a 12dc/110ac fridge, beside the price ? The 12 volt only would be running off battery, but at shore the battery would be getting charged, so I can't see why to go for both. All comments are appreciated.

    Finger Lakes

    We are planning a trip from Kingston, Ontario to the Finger Lakes next summer and need some information. First, I understand there are only 3 lakes accessible via the Erie Canal.

    Refrigerator Brands

    I need to replace the refrigerator in my Carver 3607 and I've narrowed my search down to 2 brands. Nova Kool RFU8220 and Virifrigo DP2600. Both are priced about the same, but I'm looking to find which is easier on the batteries and which one refrigerates better. Thanks in advance

    Carver 3607 engine room

    I have been thinking about using the engine room on my Carver as a storage area. Does anyone here know if there is a good amount of room? I'm asking because I haven't really had the opportunity to and look. I bought the boat last fall and this summer has been a writeoff for me...medical issues.

    Sandblasting hull

    I have a few blisters in my hull and need to have them repaired over the winter. I have been told a couple of different things so I'm coming here to hopefully get some good advice. Firstly, I was told by the marine surveyor that I had some blisters and they needed to be ground down, filled in...

    Angle Merc 4 stroke can be tilted on back of swim platform

    I am about to mount my dinghy on the swim platform with davits and it seems that when I will lift the dinghy up it will tilt more than 90 degrees. Will this be okay for the 4 stroke Merc? It will be done with the tiller down as per the manual.

    Carver 3607 Steering

    The marina just launched my boat and they sent me an e-mail to say I have no steering. They said it might be that I need the air pumped up. What does that mean and where/what do I look for the air tank?

    Waste is pumped directly out

    I have a Carver 3607 with 2 heads and 2 waste tanks, but the previous owner never used them as the boat was used as a cottage and the marina's facilities were what they used. There is a seacock in the starboard side in the engine room that has a lever and 2 wires attached to it. I have tried to...
