Post 1998 Carver 530 Malber Dryer Not Heating


My Malber dryer stopped heating and my repair guy can’t find the replacement heat element because as we all know Malber no longer exist.

Any ideas on where to get the part or recommendations on replacement unit? Maybe it’s time to replace the washer and dryer…they are 23 years old!

Thanks for any help…obviously they need to fit in the same space etc.

Post For Sale Bimini and stainless steel frame for Carver 466


I will be removing the bimini and frame with the complete set of isenglass panels in late September. I am installing a new hardtop in place of the bimini. The framing is in excellent condition and the bimini top is original with no rips or tears, leaks in a few spots and needs to be treated again. The isenglass front panels in excellent shape, one side panel new and other side has small crack. All zippers are good. The aft deck isenglass panels are in great shape and available too.

If interested ...

Post Dock water hook up


My wife and I are new the Carver Yacht life. Everything is big and overwhelming. We have had our 2002 356 for about a month with very little big boat experience. That being said we worry a lot. Most of our worry I feel is not knowing what switch to flip when, what is to stay on, or pump this and fill this here, etc. My latest worry yesterday is the forward bilge would come on every 5 minutes like clockwork. It has never run before but continued to to pump yesterday. I turned the dock water hydra ...

Post 2019 C37 Paint chipping and oxidizing


We just bought our new to us C37 - had 38 hours on her, great shape. She has a black roof, grey hull. Looks like a Batmobile Boat! :)

The day we took possession, some dock mates of the previous owner told us that Carver had come out to repaint the top just 2 months earlier. At Carvers expense. We didn't think too much of it, though it was not disclosed by the previous owner. Everything passed inspection.



It is now 2 months later and the top part of our hull is chipping, cracking, oxidiz ...

Post 1994 Voyager Speaker System


I recently purchased a 1994 voyager. There is a pre-existing speaker system without a radio installed on my Boat. My question is where is the origin point for installing the radio. I am unable to track where all the feeders and audio feed are emanating from. I have searched for wiring diagrams of the system and have not found anything useful. Thank you

Post Hot Water Tank


Hi Guys,



My 28 Riv has a hot water tank that can be heated with shore power or by one of the water cooled engines - through the heat exchanger. We think there is a break in the heat exchanger and that water is escaping.



Here is our plan, but I need some help.



1. We plan on disconnecting the hoses from the engine at the hot water tank heat exchanger connections.

2. We will install 2 valves on the connections on the hot water tank for the heat exchanger (this will close things off).



Question. Can ...

Post Marinaire or Wabesto


Well, I came to the boat last night to find that the A/C in the stateroom would not work :banghead: . Spent the morning troubleshooting it an it appears that the compressor has locked up. It’s a 12,000 btu unit from Marine Air and it’s original to the boat, so it’s given 30+ years of service. :clap: The salon unit was replaced a few years ago with a new Dometic (Cruisair) 16,000 btu and has never struggled to cool it portion of the boat. I have spent the most of the day shopping for a new ...
