Congratulations and Welcome Aboard!
This Owner’s Guide was designed to acquaint you with the safe, proper operation and
maintenance of your new boat and its systems. Your rst duty as Captain of your new
Carver should be to read your Owner’s Guide and all manufacturer-supplied operating
and maintenance instructions found within your Owner’s Information kit.
Be sure to mail in all manufacturer registrations and warranty cards to validate your
Carver and OEM warranties. These warranty cards have been assembled and are
contained in the OEM information packets within your Owner’s Information kit.
If you’re new to boating, learn the proper rules of seamanship to ensure the safety of
your passengers. Refer to Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling
and attend a safe boating class offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United
States Power Squadron, or any enterprise experienced in conducting safe boating
courses.
Thank you for choosing Carver. We’re condent your new boat will provide you and
your family with years of enjoyable cruising.
