Carver Owners Forum

I have a 1991 634 Santego and lost all 120 volt power to the outlets on the port side. All the breakers are on and there is power going thru the breaker. I suspect that there is a GFI plug hidden somewhere. Does anyone know where the GFI's are on one of these boats? I just bought it last year and am still learning. I know there is one by the sink on the starboard side and that is the only one I can find. All the plugs work on the starboard side so I think they are on one circuit and the port side is on the other circuit. I have two breakers for outlets.

Have you checked in the head? Thats where mine is on the port side. The starboard side is at the galley sink. It seems they install them close to sinks/taps.

Ya look in the head, check behind curtains and in cupboards. Also check the aft cockpit and flybridge though the first outlet in the circuit tends to be the one closest to the panel and that's the one that's usually the GFI, depends on how they route the wiring. Short of that it's getting out a meter and checking for voltage on the wiring at each outlet and ensuring the connections are tight and in good condition. One bad connection can affect the other outlets down the line.

Found the plug in the head, it is not GFI. It was behind the toilet paper holder in a cabinet...Found another one on the port side by the bed but it is not GFI. I'm going to try and follow the wires from the beaker tonight. Time to tear the boat apart. Thanks for the suggestions.

Helped a friend with his SeaRay on an electrical problem like yours. Found the GFCI inside a cabinet in the fwd head. There was also an outlet right by the sink and another one on the side of that same cabinet but visible/accessible from outside the cabinet. Not sure why they hid the GFCI inside the cabinet, other than the aesthetics that it didn't match the style of the one by the sink There was literally a 6" cable between the GFCI and the one mounted in the side of that cabinet.

I don't recall what model it was, but it seems like one of the owners on here found a GFCI behind their icemaker that fed other outlets.

There's a member on here by Phrancus that downloaded many carver documents and according to his list your boat is one of them. You may try reaching our to him with a pm or email. Seeing if has any more info and will forward some info for you. Having a electrical schematic will at least help you from just shooting in the dark.

If there's a TV cabinet in the berth, check that outlet, it might be a GFI

I found it. I was having some engine issues, so this got put on the back burner for awhile. When I opened the storage on the back starboard side of the boat to shut my batteries off, I found a GFI receptacle. Pushed the button and now I have power on the port side. Forgot that plug was even there.

Thanks for coming back and updating the thread. I'm sure a future member will appreciate it too!!
