Hello! Me and a friend just bought a 1997 Carver 280 special edition. Been looking everywhere for an owners manual or any other maintenance or parts info we can find. Sounds like with the closing of Carver a lot of that info may no longer be available on line. Anyone have a good source for a pdf? Or copy for sale?

Any other advice as we start learning about the new boat?

Excited to join this community!

Thank you,

JD

Hello Carver Owners

I am not the owner, but the Caretaker/Babysitter of an exceptional Carver 57 Voyager currently located in Miami, FL. Her current owner is purchasing a Marquis 65. I thought I would give current Carver owners a heads-up on the availability of this one.

Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I'm considering the purchase of a 1993 Carver 350 powered with dual Volvos TAMD 41B with 210 hp. They appear to have been very well maintained. I see on the 370's they went up to 315 hp. Do you think these engines are enough power for this boat? Much thanks,
Lynnie

Okay 41 CMY owners. I would like to see a picture of someone's aft cockpit below decks with a stern thruster, please. I am talking to some service folks about installing a stern thruster and there doesn't appear to be enough room with the tubing, steering gear, and auxiliary fuel tanks. Any ideas? Please help.

I am looking to replace the "zipper piling" in the window tracks on my 1994 Mariner 330. Does anyone know the size to order?

Hi -
I've got a 1977 carver santa cruz 2566 and when I plug in the water heater (which heats the water), my fresh water pump seems to pulsate and not run steady. This happens only when I plug the hot water heater in. My lines are clear without kinks, and the hoses that run from the water heater to the engine are not in use. (so no heating of the water using the engine which is a 351 Windsor)

Any ideas?

Cheers
Steve

Hello all, I have a 2001 Mariner 350. It has 2 main batteries and 1 battery for the generator.

Recently the engines would not turn over so I replaced both the main batteries. When I went back to the boat 2 weeks later, those batteries were almost dead. The boat is in a wet slip with dual 30 amp power.

So i checked the battery charger and it appears it's only charging the Genset battery. The charger is a Mastervolt 12/3-40. I can check each bank and it shows that the main battery is low. (Shows a ...

In light of the closing of Carver Yacht's in July of 2021, what are your thoughts on the market value of our Carvers? I'm considering selling mine as it will likely become more and more difficult to get parts and potential buyers may shy away. What do you all think? Don't get me wrong, I love my Carver but the writing is on the wall.

Have been using Noflex Digester for a few years now and must admit it works very well for not only controlling holding tank odours but also cleaning the tank and lines. Only drawback is it is rather spendy and difficult to find however ordering on the web has simplified things except for those delivery costs which add even more to the product. https://marinesan.com/noflex-digestor/
