Carver Tech Support

Postby SFDOBBINS » March 29th, 2022, 9:13 pm

Hey Fellow Carver Owners,
I have owned a Carver since 1984. They range from a 28' to a 45'. Over the years I relied on the customer service department at Carver to assist me with many technical questions. They were always fantastic! Since they closed down, I have really missed their help. Has anyone heard of an after market tech support operation? Or maybe someone who worked at Carver who may have tech info. Also, as anyone found a place to order a tech manual.

Thanks,
Steve

Welcome aboard Steve. You're right, Carver was great to deal with. Luckily, we have a great group here with a lot of experience and information. Chances are pretty good someone will have answers to your inquiries. There is a member here that downloaded most of the manuals before Carver's site shut down. I'm sure he'll chime in or someone will post a link to that thread. I believe Phrancus was the member who grabbed the files to share with us.

I have tried to recruit a couple former employees to join the forum for the purpose described above. The sources that are still with the surviving company were instructed to not take part as a condition of employment. The person no longer with that company is reluctant due to how much time this would occupy. None of them have access to the old resource files. Midnight Sun (Hans) did publish a link last November. Here it is. https://www.downloadboatmanuals.com/boa ... er-yachts/ Viper comment above is also accurate. I think it was Phrancus that published a pretty extensive list of links. Go to his profile in members tab. There should be a list of his posts you could sift through. Good luck! You're right, those Carvers resources were really good. 8-) er
