What's up Cap'n Tony! I had a similar issue with my Mercruiser 8.1s. I exercised every electrical connector on the engine i could find. The smallest amount of salt spray that gets into these connections can cause corrosion and fail intermittently just like you're describing. If you find one that has some green stuff on it,, you can use electrical contact cleaner to clean up the pins.
There's a main harness connector that has pins that can fatigue so by unplugging it and working the pins with a very small screwdriver or similar, you can make these pins fit together more tightly.
Before swapping fuel pumps, connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and run it under load. Do that on both engines to compare pressures. If you're problematic engine reads lower, that fuel pump or pressure regulator could be failing. Good luck bud!
Thanks buddy. I hope it is just that because electrical issues cause wonky things. I’ll let you know what I find
Thanks for informative videos- I read negative comments online about Carver- would you recommend this boat to a first timer? Thanks
I wouldn’t read too much into comments from online people who have never been on a carver, never owned one nor even own a boat. Boats are not designed for the same purposes. Carvers are a luxury brand with great build quality. Before you consider any boat what do you want to do on the water. It’s like comparing apples and oranges with these basement dwellers who know nothing. For a first boat it is a lot to handle. Could be better with a bow and stern thruster for windy days. It can be handled with two people but dont try to take her out yourself. My channel will give you the good the bad and the ugly from an owners perspective. Do you need a lot of great space that can do Bahamas runs and handle up to 10 plus foot seas under way? Try doing that in a center console under 30 feet. First write down all your specific needs in a boat and shop around that.
I hear you thanks - that’s what I was thinking, my search was initially 26 to max 28’ boat , but most likely we’re not going to upgrade (what I see a lot!) , so if this a good boat ( not a wild thoroughbred) and I could get a good deal maybe I should consider-it fits what we like to do. Is there known/specific problems with this boat that I should look for or walk away from😎? leaks, soft spots, mechanical/electrical problems? With season almost ended in the east coast, what is the good deal on a good condition 1997-2000? I see anywhere b/w $45k -65.
Again , very informative detail oriented and helpful videos- many thanks.
I would say engines on any boat would be a deal killer if they haven’t been maintained. For instance around 2000 hours you’ll be looking at a rebuild or repower. Mine only has 800 hours. Also with salt water make sure the engines are fresh water cooled with heat exchangers. Run away from any boat in salt water without them. Also Get a good survey. Make sure the owner has all records. Carver mariner 350s will range from 50k to 90k. Lower range will need some tlc. If your near st augustine I could give you a tour of mine.
Thanks- I’m in Maryland. Going to see the boat tomorrow. Owner has it for 8 years. Survey was done 3 yrs ago. All records available owner stated. new full canvas ,Sound system ,Many interior up grades, new risers and manifolds ,New carpet
New floor, New vinyl for bridge seats, Rebuilt port transmission and Vdrive. Said it runs well with no known issues! Apparently, owner is selling to upgrade and has his eyes set on a boat.
