1.3-1
D) Second Owner Registration
A “Second Owner Registration Card” has been provided in Section 1.4. The purchaser of a
“pre-owned” Carver should complete this card and submit it to the Carver Boat Corporation,
P.O. Box 1010, Pulaski, Wi 54162-1010.
Registration of a “pre-owned” Carver does not extend or in any way modify a boat's original
limited warranty. However, purchasers of a pre-owned Carver can and should register owner-
ship with Carver. Having this information on file will benefit you should Carver ever need to
contactyou.
E) Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The United States Coast Guard has established a universal system of numerically identifying
vessels by using a hull identification number or “HIN.” This number identifies a boat's make,
model, hull number, month, and year of manufacture.
The HIN is found on a boat's transom. Look for it on the starboard side, just below the rub rail
or onthe transom platform.
Provide your Carver Dealer with your boat's HIN when contacting them for parts or service.
The HIN consists of 12 alpha or numeric characters.
Atypical HIN for a 1993, 330 MARINER will read CDRNS001(G394.
CDR = signifies that the boat was made by the Carver Boat Corporation. Every boat manu-
facturer in the United States has their own three letter designation.
N9 = Shows that the boat is a Carver model 330 MARINER. Every different model made by
Carver has its own two digit identifier.
001 = These three positions indicate the boat's hull number. 001 shows that his boatwas the
first boat of this model manufactured during this model year.
G = This letter denotes the month the hull was molded. “A” signifies January, “B" February
and so on.
3 = This is the calendar year the boat was made. This boat was made in 1993.
94 == These numbers show what MODEL YEAR the boat is.
Looking at our HIN example of CDRN9001G394, we see that this boat is a Carver 330 MARI-
NER, is a 1994 model, and that the hull was molded in Juiy 1993. This boat was the first one
made as a 1994 model.

2.1 MATERIALS
2.2 CONSTRUCTION
2.3 DEFINITION OF TERMS
2.1 MATERIALS
Your new boat is constructed from many different high quality materials. These materials work
together to provide avessel thatis uniquely suited to the marine environment.
A) Fiberglass
Many of the pieces used to build your boat, such as the hull, deck, cockpit liner and shower
stalls, are made of molded fiberglass. Fiberglass is formed by impregnating various types of
fiber material with catalyzed polyester resin. Parts are made by laminating layers of fiberglass
material into molds. The laminated parts remain in the mold while they cure. Cured parts are
then removed from the molds and serve as the basis for anew boat. Dozens of fiberglass
components are used to make a 330 MARINER.
Many of the fiberglass parts in your boat are further reinforced by laminating core materials
between layers of fiberglass. Natural materials like balsa wood and plywood are used as are
a variety of synthetic materials like “cormat” and aluminum.
Not all fiberglass parts are made alike. Each partis laminated to reflect the stress levels it will
encounter after it becomes part of the boat. A detailed process is used to develop a precise
“lamination schedule” for every fiberglass part.
The exterior or exposed surface of many fiberglass parts is coated with a layer of gelcoat.
Gelcoat acts as a cosmetic and protective layer, much like the paint on your car. Below the
waterline hull surfaces have a layer of vinylester under the gelcoat.
The exterior walking surfaces of your boat have been textured with non-skid. This provides a
solid footing surface on the boat's deck, walkways, ladder steps and cockpit floors.
Information on how to maintain the fiberglass surfaces of your boat are included in Section 8.3
ofthis Owner's Guide.
B) Wood
Several differenttypes of wood are used in your 330 MARINER.
Fir Plywood:
Several carefully selected types and thicknesses of premium quality, exterior grade plywood
are used throughout your boat to construct and reinforce a variety of components.
Teak Plywood:
Teak plywood is used on the interior of your boat to fabricate bulkheads, door panels and
cabinets. Teak plywood has outer layers of high grade teak veneer, and a fir or pine inner
plywood core.
2.1-1
E) Formed Plastics
Formed plastic is used in a variety of ways throughout the interior and exterior of your boat.
Plastic offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent resistance to the affects of moisture.
A few of the areas where formed plastics are used are in the boats water and sanitation tanks,
bridge seat forms, interior mirrors and in electrical circuit breaker panels.
Information on cleaning the plastic and acrylic panels is included in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 of this
Owner's Guide.
F) Fabrics, Wall Covering And Carpet
A wide variety and types of fabrics can be found throughout the interior and exterior of your
boat. Woven fabrics are used for interior mattresses and chairs, vinyl fabrics are used for
exterior cushions and helm seats.
The vinyl coating of the interior wall coverings and headliner make them easy to clean.
The carpet and fabric selected for your boat are of premium grade and have been treated
with a popular stain resistant product.
2.1-3
2.2 CONSTRUCTION
Y our 330 MARINER was built using a modular constructiontechnique. This method of build-
ing boats uses the physical properties of many components to add strength and rigidity to the
boat's hull and deck. The interior liners of the boat are securely bonded to the huli and deck to
increase strength while minimizing the boat's overall weight.
A) Huil
The hullis made of numerous layers of various types of laminated fiberglass. lts strengthis
derived from laminating several carefully selected, hand laid layers of fiberglass material that
have been impregnated and bonded together with polyester resin. Your hull does not contain
any balsawood coring materials.
Carver uses a one-piece mold to make the hull. This eliminates any centerline seam that may
affectits appearance or strength.
The fiberglass fabrication process begins by cleaning, waxing and polishing the mold. We
then spray pigmented gelcoat onto the molds polished surface. Underwater portions ofthe hull
receive a layer of vinylester that offers an extra degree of protection.
Next, a layer of random directional fiberglass strand is applied. This layer minimizes pattern
print-through and accounts for the smooth finish of fiberglass parts made by Carver.
Final lamination is completed by alternating layers of glass strand fiber and bi-directional
roving. All areas ofthe boat are not laminated the same. The actual thickness of your boat's
hull varies depending upon the structural requirements of a particular area. Thethickness,
however, generally increases as you go from the sheerto the keel area of the hull,
Carver protects the underwater portion of your hull from marine growth with alayer of anti-
fouling bottom paint. |
! CAUTION!
DO NOT install an item into or through the hull without sealing the area penetrated by
the fastener or fitting. Improper or inadequate sealing may lead to hull leaks or seri-
ous hull damage. Consult your Carver Dealer for recommendations on what type and
brand of sealer to use.

3.4 BELOW WATERLINE FITTINGS - 330 MARINER
Certain systems aboard the 330 MARINER require the installation of thru-hull fittings below the
boat's waterline. Attached to each fitting is a valve that enables you to open and close the thru-
hull outlet. This is a safety feature that must be used inthe event of aleak ina hose or hose
fitting. Upon discovering a leaking hose, immediately locate and close the appropriate valve
by turning its handle perpendicular to the valve

3.6 PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS - 330 MARINER
A)
Physical Measurements
Length Overall (LOA): 343" / 10,44 m
This measurementincludes the length of the boat when the factory-installed swim
platform and bow pulpit have been added.
Beam: 12'4"/3,76 m
Bridge Clearance: 10'10" / 3,30 тп
(w/optionalcanvas) 13'7"/4,14m
Draft: 33" / 0,84 т
A draft of 33" (83,82 cm) has been calculated based upon the boat's 12,600 Ib
(5715,36 kg) dry weight. Draft is the depth of water from the water line to the lowest
point on the boat, usually the bottom tip of the props.
The draft of a boat will vary depending upon the salinity of the water, the amount of
equipment on the boat, the capacity of the fuel, water and waste tanks as well as the
number of people on board. Due to these variables, the draft of your boat should be
checked when the boatis fully equipped and loaded.
3.6-1
Dry Weight: 12,600 [bs / 7938 kg
B)
Dry weight does notinclude fuel, water, optional equipment, food, beverages,
safety gear or anything else a family is likely to have aboard theirboat. The actual
weight of your boat will be greater than the dry weight figure listed here.
The approximate weight of your boat can be estimated when the actual draft is
known. it will require approximately 1,225 Ibs (555,66 kg) to increase a 330
MARINER'S draftby 1" (2,54 cm). If a 330 MARINER draws 33" (82,82 cm) atits
"dry" weight of 12,600 Ibs (7938 kg), a boat that draws 36" (91,44 cm) will weigh
approximately 16,275 lbs (7382,34) kg).
36" - 33" = 3" X 1,225 Ibs = 3,675 lbs + 12,600 Ibs = 16,275 Ibs est. total weight
(91,44 cm - 82,82 cm = 7,62 cm X 555,66 kg = 1666,98 kg + 7938 kg = 9604,98 kg
2,54
est. total weight.)
We can't over emphasis that this computation is for estimating purposes only.
Use it to generate a rough approximation of your boat's total weight.
The 1,2251b (555,66 kg) figure used for this draft/weight computation is unique to the

3.7 UNDER WATER GEAR - 330 MARINER
A) Propellers
Your 330 MARINER is equipped with two propellers. These props are counter rotating to
provide maximum maneuverability and efficiency. Each prop is designated for either right
hand or left hand rotation.
Propellers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to meet the needs of different perform-
ance requirements. The actual size and type of propeller used on your boat has been listed on
the Pre-Delivery Service Record and the Select Bills of Material found in Section 9.
A basic knowledge of how a propeller works will allow you to better understand the terminology
used to describe the aspects of propeller performance.
Diameter
Diameter is twice the distance from the center of the prop shaftto the extreme tips of the
propeller blades. Increasing or decreasing the diameter of a prop will have a direct bearing on
the RPM that the engines will be capable of developing. This is because changing the blade
size changes the amount of blade surface that comes into contact with the water.
B) Pitch
Pitch is a measure of the helix angle (or angle of attack) of the rotating blade. Pitch canbe
better understood by imagining the propeller rotating through a semi-solid such as butter. The
distance (in inches) the propeller will travel in one revolution corresponds to the props pitch.
Increasing or decreasing pitch will have a direct bearing on engine RPM. increasing the props
pitch will allow it to take a bigger “bite”, increasing the load on the engine and lowering engine
RPM.

F) Strut Assembly
Struts are fastened to the boat's hull and are used to support the propelier shaft. The 330
MARINER uses both primary and intermediate struts. Primary struts are the larger, aft most
struts. Intermediate struts are installed between the primary strut and the shaft log.
90 degree struts are used on the 330 MARINER. Using 90 degree struts allows a strut to be
used on either the port or starboard side of the boat. This makes carrying a spare strut easier
and more economicai.
Within each strut is a strut bearing. This rubber bearing provides a smooth surface forthe
propeller to rotate. Periodic lubrication of these bearing with an oil made for rubber will help
keep the rubber surface from cracking.

12 VOLT SYSTEM - DESIGN AND PURPOSE
12 VOLT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
“BATTERY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
12 VOLT WIRE STANDARD
12 VOLT TROUBLE-SHOOTING
4.1 DESIGN AND PURPOSE
Your Carver 330 MARINER is equipped with a 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) electrical system.
This is a comprehensive system that is designed to meet your present and future 12 volt
electrical needs.
Wire-runs and connections are placed and positioned to prevent abrasion and exposure to
moisture, as well as to remain accessible for inspection, repairs and adding additional electri-
cal components. Electrical wire used throughout your boat is plastic coated, color-coded wire.
A guide to the color code system used by Carver can be found in Section 4.4 - 12 volt Wire
Standard, Connections are made using crimped connector points.
Your boats electrical system is virtually maintenance free, with only the batteries requiring
periodic inspection and maintenance.
A) Battery Selector Switch
The Direct Current or DC electrical system is powered by two 12 Volt deep cycle batteries.
Fach battery is enclosed in an impact-resistant plastic battery box which is firmly anchored to
the two center stringers. Refer to Section 3.3 for the exact location of the 12 Volt batteries.
Refer to Section 4.3 of this Owner's Guide for information on battery maintenance.
The power within these batteries is controlled by the battery selector switch which is located in
the the starboard aft corner of the salon. The battery selector switch acts as a master discon-
nect, as well as a selector switch for either battery #1, battery #2, or both together. Referto
the drawing at the end of Section 4.3 for additional battery wiring information.
Battery Selector Switch Positions:
OFF With the battery selector switch in the "OFF" position, all 12 Volt AC power to the
boat is shut off except for the bilge pumps, voltmeters and battery charger leads.
The boat's bilge pumps are “hard wired” to the selector switch so they operate in the
automatic mode even when the boat is unattended and the selector switch is inthe
OFF position.
CAUTION!
NEVER turn the battery selector switch to the "OFF" position while an engine or
engines are running. Doing this will damage the alternator or engine wiring.
#1 Position #1 will use battery #1 to power both engines and all other 12 Volt
equipment. Battery #2 will be isolated and remain in reserve.
4.1 - 1
2) Voltmeters are installed at the helm console. Look at the voltmeters to determine
which battery bank has the LOWEST charge. Charge levelis determined by the
level of power as indicated in available voltage. If both banks are indicating the
same level of voltage, use either the #1 or #2 battery selector switch position.
3) If your voltmeters show that one bank has a lower level of charge thanthe other,
switch the battery selector switch to the bank that has the HIGHEST available
voltage.
4) Start one of the boats engines. When itis idling smoothly, start the remaining
engine. Start each engine independently. Never try to start both engines at once.
5) After the engines are running, switch the selector switch to the battery bank that had
the LOWEST voltage reading. This will allow the engines alternator torecharge the
low battery.
The voltmeters read static voltage when the engines are off. When the engines are running,
one voltmeter will indicate a higher reading than the other. This is because the voltmeters read
alternator charging rate when the engines are running. The position ofthe battery selector
switch determines which battery will be charged by the alternator.
C) Powering 12 Volt Equipment
While the engines are running, 12 volt equipment can be used with little concern for excess
battery discharge. The power generated by the engine alternators is usually more than ad-
equate to replace any power consumed by 12 volt equipment.
HOWEVER, without an engine running, your batteries will discharge as they power 12 volt
equipment. Operating 12 volt equipment without charging the batteries will eventually com-
pletely discharge the batteries. This is why we recommend using either battery #1 OR
battery #2 but never both. The condition of your batteries can be monitored by referencing
the voltmeters.
Fully charged batteries that have not been charged or discharged for atleast 2 hours should
indicate between 12.3 to 12.6 voits. A reading below this level indicates a partly discharged
battery.
41-3
4.2 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
12 volt electrical power is managed through the 12 volt Circuit Breaker Panel. Refer to Sec-
tion 3.2 for the exact location of the 12 volt circuit breaker panel. There are 18 individual circuit
breakers on this panel. These individual circuit breakers are controlled by a 12 VOLT MAIN
CIRCUIT BREAKER. The 12 volt MAIN Circuit Breaker must be in the "ON" position in order
for any other 12 volt circuit breaker to become functional.
A drawing that illustrates the 12 Volt Circuit Breaker Panel has been included in this section of
the Owner's Guide.
The following equipment is included in your boat's 12 volt electrical system:
Group #1 - Lights
Helm Station Panel Lights: The gauges mounted on your boat's helm console can be
illuminated for operation at night.
To use the helm station panel lights, turn the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled PANEL to the "ON"
position. The gauge lights can be turned on and off atthe helm console by using the switch
marked PANEL,
Navigation / Anchor lights: Navigation and Anchor lights are controlled at the helm station
by a 3 position switch. To operate the Nav / Anchor lights turn the circuit breaker labeled
NAV / ANCHOR on the 12 volt circuit breaker panel to the "ON" position. Pressing the heim
station switch marked NAV to the up position will activate the red, green and white navigation
lights. Pressing the switch down activates the anchor light. The center position is the "OFF"
position.
Spotlight (optional equipment): Spotlight controls are located at the boats helm station(s).
Power to the spotlight control is activated by turning the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled SPOT
to the "ON" position. Refer to the operator's guide supplied by the manufacturer of the spotlight
for more information.
interior Lights: The boat's interior cabin lights are controlled by a circuit breaker marked
INTERIOR as well as individual switches located throughout the boat.
Group #2 - Miscellaneous
Windshield Wipers: To use the wipers, turn the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled WIPER to the
"ON" position. The WIPER switch installed onthe helm station console activates the wipers
whenitis turned to the "ON" position.
Horn: To use your boat's horn, turn the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled HORN to the "ON"
position. The helm station on your boat has a switch labeled HORN. Pressing this switch
sounds the horn.
4.2 - 1
There are six speakers included within the stereo option. Two speakers are mounted onthe
bridge. The volume control for these bridge-mounted speakers is installed near the upper
helm. Two speakers are installed in the boat's master stateroom. The volume control for the
stateroom speakers will be found on the port side bulkhead. There are also two speakers
installed in the boat's salon. Volume for these speakers is controlied on the stereo unit.
More information on operating your factory installed stereo can be found in the packet of OEM
materials.
Trim Tabs: The trim tabs on your boat are used to improve the running angle of your boat
while underway. More information on how to use trim tabs has been included in section 7.4 of
this manual as well as in the OEM's operator's manual.
The 12 volt circuit breaker labeled TRIM TABS supplies power to the heim console trim tab
control. To use the trim tabs turn the 12 volt circuit breaker to the "ON" position.
Group #3 - Pumps
Fore and Aft Bilge Pumps: Bilge pumps are used to remove water from the boat's bilge.
Your boat has three bilge pumps, one in each bilge compartment (refer to Section 6.2 for more
information on your boat's bilge system). The fore and aft bilge pumps operate in two manners:
Automatic Operation
Incorporated into each bilge pump is a float switch. The float switch "automatically” turns on
the appropriate bilge pump when bilge water rises to a pre-determined level. Your biige
pumps are “hard wired” to the battery selector switch, so they will operate automatically via
their float switch, regardless of the position of the breakers on the 12 volt circuit breaker panel
or battery selector switch. |
It's agoodideato periodically test the float switches by lifting the fioat, which should turn the
bilge pump on.
NOTE: The bilge pump instalied in the midship's bilge compartment is designed to operate
ONLY inthe automatic mode.
Manual Operation
The fore and aft bilge pumps can also be operated manually. A set of bilge pump control
switches have been installed at the heim station to manually control these pumps.
For manual operation, turn the 12 volt circuit breakers labeled FWD BILGE PUMP and AFT
BILGE PUMP to the "ON" position. Atthe helm station, turn the switch marked FWD BILGE
PUMP or AFT BILGE PUMP to the "ON" position.
NOTE: The midship's bilge pump cannot be operated in a manual mode.
4.2-3
Head Ventilation Fan: À ventilation fan is installed in the head compartment of your boat. To
activate the head ventilation fan turn the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled HEAD to the "ON"
position. Use the switch installed in the head compartment to turn the ventilation fan on or off
as needed.
roup #5 - Accessories
Bridge Accessories: A 15 amp 12 volt circuit breaker has been installed in the 12 volt circuit
breaker panel. This circuit breaker is labeled BRIDGE. Use this breaker to power any com-
munications and/or navigational instruments that you may add to the boat.
Salon Accessories: A 15 amp 12 volt circuit breaker has been installed in the 12 volt circuit
breaker panel supplies power to the Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector. This circuit breaker is
labeled SALON. This breaker is also used to power any 12 volt equipment you may add in
the salon of your boat.
Carver installs 3 carbon monoxide detectors on the 330 MARINER. CO detectors have been
installed in each stateroom and an additional detector is in the boat's salon.
This safety equipment detects the presents of carbon monoxide (abbreviated as CO) within
the cabin of your boat. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is present in
engine and generator exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is a very dangerous gas that is
potentially lethal when inhaled.
To activate your boats carbon monoxide detector turn the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled EX-
TRA to the "ON" position. Your CO detector will alert you to the presence of carbon monoxide
in the cabin by emitting aloud, high pitched sound. When you hear this alarm, determine the
cause and correct itimmediately. There is a test button on each CO detector. Test each unit
on aweekly basis. Ifyou suspectthata CO detector is faulty, have your dealer replace it
immediately.
More information concerning carbon monoxide is included in section 7.4 of your Owner's
Guide.
| DANGER!
ALWAYS activate the CO Detector when the boat's engines and/or generator are
running. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. Study section 7.3 of your Owner's Guide
for information on minimizing, detecting and controlling carbon monoxide accumula-
tion.

4.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
Your boat's 12 volt DC electrical system is powered with two 105 amp deep cycie, heavy duty
batteries.
While your boat's batteries are relatively maintenance free, there are afew things you can do
to increase their effectiveness and life.
! DANGER!
When servicing your boat's batteries avoid spilling electrolyte into the engine com-
partment or bilge. Also, avoid getting any salt water in or on the battery. Either of
these conditions could create a poisonous gas that would be harmful if inhaled.
If you should spill electrolyte ventilate the area. Neutralize the acid in the electrolyte
by pouring baking soda on the area of the spill. Neutralized electrolyte can then be
cleaned up with a disposable rag or paper toweling.
Maintaining Y our Boat's Batteries:
1) Keep your batteries fully charged. Batteries that are kept full or near fully charged
will last longer than batteries stored with a partial charge. Battery condition can be
monitored using the voltmeters that are installed on the heim console.
2) Inspect your boat's batteries atleast every 30 days. The plastic battery storage
cases should be firmly attached to the battery box base.
3) Periodically clean the battery terminals and cable connections. DISCONNECT
AND REMOVE THE BATTERIES FROM THE BOAT BEFORE CLEANING.
Remove any accumulation of dirt on the top of the battery case. Use a wire brush to
cleanthe terminals. Coating the terminals with aterminal protectant product will help
reduce corrosion that can form in these areas.
4) Check to make sure that the battery cables are securely attached tothe terminal
posts. Tightenthe terminal wing nuts SLIGHTLY beyond finger tight with apliers.
5) Check the level of electrolyte in each cell of each battery. Correct level is just above
the plates. Ifthe fluid level is low, top off the cell with "DISTILLED" water. DONOT
OVERFILL.
6) Remove the batteries from the boat during periods of extended storage. Store your
batteries in a cool (above freezing temperatures), dry area. All batteries will lose
some charge during storage but the lower the temperature the less loss of charge.
Avoid storing the batteries in a humid place. Humidity will lead to corrosion of the
terminals.

5.0 AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
The AC (alternating current) electrical system in your boat can be configured in one ofthe
following ways:
A) Single 30 Amp Dockside (“Single Dockside”)
A single 30 amp service is the standard configuration for the 330 MARINER.
Single dockside systems are wired at the Carver factory in either 120 volt AC or 220 volt AC.
120 volt systems are used throughout North American and Pacific Rim countries. 220 voltis
primarily used in European countries whose standard electrical system is based on 220 volt
power.
These instructions pertain to either 120 volt or 220 volt single dockside systems. Section
5.1-S explains the use of the SINGLE 30 AMP DOCKSIDE SYSTEM.
B) Dual 30 Amp Dockside (“Dual Dockside”)
Dual dockside is an option (4197) offered by Carver.
The dual 30 amp system utilizes two 30 amp services, each service powered by its own 30
amp shore power cord or by the boat's onboard generator. Dual dockside is required on
boats equipped with air conditioning and/or an onboard generator.
Dual dockside is available in either 120 volt or 220 volt configurations.
These instructions pertain to either 120 volt or 220 volt dual dockside systems. Section 5.1-D
explains the use ofthe DUAL 30 AMP DOCKSIDE SYSTEM.
Please refer to the following section that pertains to your boats wiring configuration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Within Sections 5.1s and 5.1d there are several references made to
‘reverse polarity." Reverse polarity is a situation that occurs only in boats equipped with 120
volt AC electrical systems. Owners of boats with 220 volt electrical systems should disregard
any instructions or references concerning reverse polarity.
5.0 -1
5.1s SINGLE 30 AMP DOCKSIDE SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
The single 30 amp AC electrical system is powered through the use of a dockside power
source. Once a source of power has been supplied the AC electrical system operates
much the same as the system within your home. Your AC system supplies electrical
power to items such as dual voltage refrigerator, stove, battery charger, ice maker, and AC
receptacles. |
| WARNING |
Before using your boat's electrical system be certain that either:
1) The circuit breaker labeled WATER HEATER, located in the AC circuit breaker
panel, is switched to the "OFF" position.
OR
2) Your boat's fresh water system (including the water heater) has been filled,
pressurized, and primed.
DO NOT supply electrical power to an empty water heater. Doing so may result in
damage to the unit's heating element and could result in a fire.
The shore power or dockside electrical system of your 330 MARINER uses three-wire,
color-coded circuitry. The black wire is referred to as HOT and is the current-carrying
conductor wire. The white or NEUTRAL. wires are grounded and are also current-carrying
conductors. GROUND wires will appear as a green plastic color-coded wire OR as bare
copper wires. Under normal conditions the ground wires do not carry current.
“Buss bars” are used within the electrical system to help route and organize the wires. The
system's white or neutral wires are connected together at buss bars. The ground wires are
also connected together at another independent buss bar. Each black (or hot) wire is
connected to and protected by a circuit breaker that is installed in the circuit breaker panel.
Power within your boat's AC electrical system is routed and controlled via the AC circuit
breaker panel. Your circuit breaker panel has a 30 amp MAIN breaker which protects the
overall AC electrical system. Nine other circuit breakers have been installed in your boat's
circuit breaker panel. These breakers protect individual circuits and are explained in Sec-
tion 5.2s.
Circuit breakers serve two purposes:
1) They enable you to manually interrupt a circuit by switching the breaker "ON" or
"OFF."
2) They protect the electrical system by "automatically" breaking or disconnecting the
circuit in the case of a short or overload.
5.15 - 1
2) Make sure the 30 amp MAIN breaker located within the boat's AC circuit
breaker panel is in the "OFF" position.
3) Connect the female end of the cord to your boat's shore power receptacle. This
receptacle is mounted on the port side of the boat's cockpit.
4) Choose a neat and safe way to route the dockside cord to the dockside electrical
box.
5) Turn the breaker that is installed in the dockside electrical box to the "OFF" position.
Plug the male end of the dockside cord into the dockside electrical box. The shore
power plugs have a non-metallic threaded locking ring that locks the cordset to the
dockside inlet. This prevents accidental disconnection or arcing due to a gap be
tween plug and inlet. After the cordset is connected, turn the dockside electrical box
breaker to the "ON" position.
6) Check for reverse polarity. If the red reverse polarity light is aglow, disconnect the
shore power cord and contact marina management. If polarity is okay, turn your
boat's 30 amp MAIN breaker to the "ON" position. Monitor the voltmeter and
ammeter.
C) Reverse Polarity
The MAIN circuit within your boat's electrical system is designed with a circuit that senses
the voltage difference between the neutral and ground terminal blocks. If the dockside
electrical power source is incorrectly wired and the poiarity is reversed, the red reverse
polarity light will light up.
! CAUTION!
Should the red reverse polarity light become illuminated DO NOT try to turn the
MAIN breaker "ON". INSTEAD, disconnect the shore power cord immediately. No-
tify the marina management of the reverse polarity problem and use a different
dockside electrical box.
D) Voltmeter and Ammeter Usage
Your boat's electrical system is equipped with a VOLTMETER and an AMMETER. These
instruments are located at the side of your AC circuit breaker panel.
VOLTMETER - The voltmeter provides you with an indication of the electrical voltage that
is entering your boat's system.

5.1d DUAL 30 AMP DOCKSIDE SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
Dual 30 AMP Dockside System is an option that is needed when a boat is factory equipped
with air conditioning and / or an onboard electrical generator.
The dual 30 AMP AC electrical system can be powered either by connecting a pair of shore
power cords to a dockside power source OR by operating an onboard generator (optional
equipment). Once a source of power has been supplied, the AC electrical system operates
much the same as the system within your home. Your AC system supplies electrical power to
items such as your dual voltage refrigerator, stove, battery charger, ice maker, AC recep-
tacles, and the air conditioner (if so equipped).
WARNING!
Before using your boat's electrical system be certain that:
1) The circuit breaker labeled WATER HEATER, located in the AC circuit breaker
panel, Is switched to the "OFF" position.
OR
2) Your boat's fresh water system (including the water heater) has been filled,

coded circuitry. The black wire is referred to as HOT and is the current-carrying conductor
wire. The white or NEUTRAL wires are grounded and are also current-carrying conductors.
GROUND wires will appear as a green plastic color-coded wire OR as bare copper wires.
Under normal conditions the ground wires do not carry current.
“Buss bars” are used within the electrical system to help route and organize the wires. The
system's white or neutral wires are connected together at buss bars. The ground wires are
also connected together at another independent buss bar. Each black (or hot) wire is con-
nected to and protected by a circuit breaker that is installed in the circuit breaker panel.
Power within your boat's AC electrical system is routed and controlled via two 30 amp ser-
vices. These services are labeled SHORE 1 and SHORE 2. Each service has a 30 amp
MAIN breaker which protects the individual circuits within that panel. Five individual circuit
breakers have been installed in your boat's circuit breaker panel. These breakers protect
specific circuits and are explained in Section 5.2d.
5.1d - 1
B) Connecting To Shore Power
1) Locate the 50' dockside electrical cords. Be certain that these cords are in good
repair. Inspect for any cuts, nicks or abrasions in the exterior plastic covers.
! DANGER |
DON'T use a damaged cord and DON’T use a cord that is not specifically designed for
this purpose. Household extension cords should not be used as shore power cords
for your boat. Using a damaged or improper cord may lead to electrical shock that
could cause serious injury.
2) Make sure both 30 amp MAIN breakers are in the "OFF" position.
3) Connect the female end of the cords to your boat's shore power receptacles. These
receptacles are mounted on the outside of the boat. Refer to drawing 3.1 for the
exactlocation ofthese receptacles.
4) Choose a neat and safe way to route the dockside cords to the dockside electrical
box.
5) Turn the breakers that are installed in the dockside electrical box to the "OFF"
position. Plug the male ends of the dockside cords into the dockside electrical box.
The shore power plugs have a non-metallic threaded locking ring that locks the cordset
to the dockside inlet, This prevents accidental disconnection or arcing due to a gap
between plug and inlet. Turn the dockside electrical box breakers to the "ON" position.
6) Check for reverse polarity. ifthe red reverse polarity light is aglow, disconnect the
shore power cord and contact marina management. If polarity is okay, turn your
boat's 30 amp MAIN breakers to the "ON" position. Monitor the voltmeters and
ammeters.
C) Reverse Polarity
The circuits within your boats electrical system are designed with a device that senses the
voltage difference between the neutral and ground terminal blocks. If the dockside electrical
power source is incorrectly wired and has the polarity reversed, the red reversed polarity
indicator light will light up.
CAUTION !
Should the red reverse polarity light become illuminated DO NOT try to reset the
breaker. INSTEAD, disconnect the shore power cord immediately. Notify the marina
management of the reverse polarity problem and use a different dockside electrical
box.

5.2s AC ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - 330 MARINER
Single 30 Amp Dockside System
Electrical power is managed and distributed through the AC electrical panel. This panel is
located in the boat's salon.
There are four individual circuit breakers mounted within this panel. These individual breakers
are controlled by a 30 AMP MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER. The MAIN circuit breaker must be on
for any individual circuit to function.
The foliowing individual circuit breakers are included in your boat's electrical service:
Receptacles: Receptacles have been installed throughout your boat's interior. These eiectri-
cal outlets are handy for powering onboard household appliances and AC lights.
The first two breakers are labeled RECEPTACLES and provide power to the following recep-
tacles:
-V-Berth
-Galley
- Cockpit
- Salon
- Head
Certain receptacles are Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). GFCI outlets provide protec-
tion against abnormai currentfiow from a conductor to ground. Ground fault protection is
based on the idea that a normal electrical circuit has all the current flowing in the wires desig-
nated for that circuit. Ground fauit protection is provided by measuring the currentin each
conductor and seeing that whatever flows “down” one conductor in a circuit, flows “back”
through the corresponding conductor of the same circuit. If there is an imbalance inthe cur-
rent, itis considered a “fault” in that circuit. Your boat's electrical system is protected from
ground fault through the installation of GF Cl receptacles.
When a ground fault current is detected in the AC system, the GF Ci outlets will trip and inter-
rupt the flow of current.
The advantage of ground fault protection aboard your boat is that the incorrect flow of current
will cause the electrical power to be interrupted BEFORE appreciable damage to equipment
or wiring occurs. Ground faultinterrupters also provide you and your guests with protection
frominadvenrtent electrical shock.
5.25 - 1
Range: Your 330 MARINER is offered with a "two burner" electric stove and oven broiler as

5.2-410 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (option #410)
Air conditioning is offered on the 330 MARINER as a factory installed option. The procedures
outlined in this section pertain only to units installed at the Carver factory. Air conditioning
systems installed as aftermarket accessories may not necessarily operate in the manner
described within this section.
Factory installed systems utilize self contained air conditioning units manufactured by Marine
Air Systems of Pompano Beach, FL. These systems depend upon a source of AC power
(supplied by shore power or an onboard generator) and a supply of sea water (salt or fresh).
The air conditioning unit used on the 330 MARINER also has the capability to produce heat in
the reverse cycle mode. This reverse cycle operation however is affected by the temperature
ofthe sea water. As sea water temperature decreases so does the unit's ability to produce
warm air. Marine Air recommends that the air conditioning system installed onthe
330 MARINER not be used in reverse heat mode when the sea water temperature is below
40 degrees F.
The air conditioning system in 330 MARINER incorporates a 16,000 BTU independentair
conditioning unit that is installed in the aft area of the boat's galiey. Itis used to cool and heat
the galley, salon and all other common areas.
To Use The Air Conditioning System:
1) A single pump is used to supply the air conditioning units with sea water.
Locate and open the thru-hull valve that supplies sea water tothe air conditioning
pump. This valve is located under the floor in the galley/ dinette area.
2) A strainer is installed between the supply valve and the pump. This strainer stops
foreign matter from being ingested into the pump or air conditioning units. Inspect
and clean this strainer prior to using the pump.
3) The AC breaker that controls the current to the air conditioning unit and the pump
is located on the SHORE #2 AC panel. if you are utilizing shore power as an AC
source you must attach the SHORE #2 power cord to a dockside power box. Ifyou are
using an onboard generator as your source of AC power it will automatically supply
power to both SHORE #1 and SHORE #2 panels.
4) Turn the 30 amp MAIN breaker for SHORE #2 to the ON position. Turn on the
breaker labeled A/C WATER PUMP.
5) Check to make sure that water is being pumped to the air conditioning unit. Sea
water outlets are installed on the starboard side of the boat's hull. The outlet for the air
conditioning unit is found on the port side of the boat's hull.
5.2/410 - 1
5.3 GENERATOR
Option #191 and #206
An onboard generator is available as afactory-instalied accessory. The procedures outlined
in this section pertain only to generators installed by the Carver Boat Corporation. Generators
installed as aftermarket accessories may not operate in the manner described within this
section.
An onboard generator will enable you to power AC electrical accessories while away from
dockside power. The generator is installed in the aft bilge area between the two main string-
ers. Access to the generator is gained through the aft bilge compartment hatches.
Fuel is drawn from the boat's port fuel tank. Refer to Section 7.3 for more information onthe
boat's fuel system.
A) Starting The Generator
1) Read, understand and follow the operator's manual that has been prepared and
supplied by the generator manufacturer.
2)
DANGER!
Operate bilge blowers for AT LEAST 5 minutes and inspect the bilge for fuel
vapors prior to starting the generator. If you discover fuel vapors in the bilge -
DO NOT START THE GENERATOR. Investigate the source of these vapors
and fix the problem before starting the generator. Continue to operate the
bilge blower while the generator is running.
3) The generator starter is powered by a dedicated and separate 12 volt deep cycle
battery. This battery is installed aft of the two 12 volt main batteries. Powertothe
generator from this battery is controlled by a “Perko” ON/OFF switch. Turn this
switch to the “ON” position prior to starting the generator.
NOTE: The boat's battery charger monitors and charges the generator battery along with the
other main batteries.
! CAUTION !
NEVER turn the generator battery ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position while the
generator is running. Doing this will damage the generator or alternator wiring.
5.3 - 1
A TIP FROM CARVER: “Dedicating a 12 volt battery to the generator provides an impor-
tant safety feature. A dedicated battery enables you to start the generator regardless of the
condition of the 12 volt ship's batteries. If the ship’s batteries become discharged to the
point where they are not able to start an engine, start the generator and turn on the battery
charger. This will recharge the ships batteries and will enable you to start the propulsion
engines when the batteries have been rechargedto anadequate level.”
5.3 - 3
5.4 STRAY CURRENT AND CORROSION
There aretwo types of electrically-induced underwater corrosion that can have damaging
effects onyour boat. These two types of corrosion are STRAY CURRENT and GALVANIC
CORROSION.
A) Stray Current
Stray current can lead to the decomposition of chemical compounds. Many factors can lead to
stray current:
- Reversed polarity of dockside electric power.
- Animproperly wired battery installation.
- Boats that are docked close to yours that have electrical power leakages.
- Any source close to your boat that is discharging electrica! current into the water.
Stray current can attack afiberglass hull and underwater gear.
B) Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion is produced when two dissimilar metals (such as aluminum and stainless
steel) are emersed in an electrolytic solution such as water. Polluted water and saltwater are
much better electrolytic solutions than clean, fresh water.
To protect againstthe effects of stray current and galvanic corrosion Carver has installed
"sacrificial anodes" on each of your boat's propeller shafts and a zinc plate onto the boat's
transom. These zinc anodes will decompose prior to any other metal being affected on your
‘boat. Inspectthese anodes every 30 days after your boat is initially launched. Reportany
excessive deterioration of the anodes to your Carver Dealer.
An electrical component called a “zinc saver” is also incorporated into the boat's electrical
system. The zinc saver isolates the ground wire of the dockside inlet receptacle. This offers
additional protection from the effects of galvanic corrosion.
! CAUTION!
Monitor the condition of your boat's zinc anodes. Replace zinc anodes when you
have determined that they have been reduced from their original size by 50%. DO
NOT allow the zinc anodes to completely deteriorate. Replace original anodes with
"genuine" zinc anodes. Beware of cheap aftermarket replacement zincs. Improper
zinc anodes will not provide adequate protection for your boat.
Do not paint the zinc anodes. When replacing anodes, make sure the mating surface is clean
and the anodes tightly secured.
5.4 - 1
5.5 BONDING
Your Carver 330 MARINER is equipped with a comprehensive metallic bonding system that
effectively interconnects all underwater equipment and thru huli fittings. This is done to ensure
that fittings are at equal electrical potential. Bonding minimizes the effects of corrosion due to
stray electrical currents.
included within this bonding system are sacrificial zinc anodes that have been instatled on
each ofthe boat's propeller shafts and onto the underwater portion of the boat's transom.
These anodes will corrode and deteriorate sooner than the boat's underwater fittings and will
provide a visual reference to the level of stray current to which your boat is being exposed.
Refer to Section 5.4 for more information regarding stray current and galvanic corrosion.
Your boat's 12 volt system, AC system, and the batteries negative leads are all connected to
the bonding system. These systems are interconnected through buss bars located inthe
engine and aft bilge compartments and connected to the transom mounted zinc plate. This
system ensures that the “cases” of all metallic equipment on board your boat are at the same
electrical potential.
! CAUTION!
DO NOT tamper with or modify the boat's ‘bonding system. Doing so could threaten
the integrity of the system.
{ CAUTION!
Monitor the condition of your boat's zinc anodes. Replace zinc anodes when you
have determined that they have been reduced from their original size by 50%. DO
NOT allow the zinc anodes to completely deteriorate. Refer to Section 5.4 for addi-
tional precautions concerning the sacrificial anodes on the 330 MARINER.
NOTE: Damage resulting from stray current or galvanic corrosionis NOT covered under the
Carver limited warranty.

6.1 FRESH WATER SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
Your 330 MARINER is capable of carrying approximately 91 gallons of fresh water. Water is
carried within the boat's two 40 galion water tanks and the 11 gallon water heater.
A) Filling The Tanks
Fresh water tanks are filled through the water fill deck plate located on the port side of the hull
near the bow. The fitting is labeled WATER.
NOTE: Thoroughly flush and sanitize the water system before initial use and at least
once each season.
The fill plate is installed to make it more convenient for you to fill the water tanks. The two 40
gallontanks are interconnected to provide equal weight distribution. interconnecting the tanks
also allows youtofill the water tanks through a single fill plate.
Putonly clean, freshwater into your water tanks.
Your tanks are full when water is discharged from either of the two stainless steel water tank
vent fittings that are installed on the side of the boat's hull. Refer to Section 3.4 for the exact
location of the water tank ventfittings.
DO NOT overfill your water tanks, OR leave a fill hose unattended while the tanks are being
filled.
B) Priming The Fresh Water System
After filling the tanks:
1) Partially open all cold water faucets and the cold water side of the shower mixing
valve.
2) Position the battery selector switch (refer to Section 4.1 for information regarding
the operation of the battery selector switch) to either the #1 or #2 position.
3) Switch the 12 volt MAIN circuit breaker and the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled
WATER PRESSURE to the "ON" position.
The system will be primed by purging all air from the system's pipes. Monitor each faucet and
the shower mixing valve. When a steady stream of water is being discharged from a faucet
you may turn the valve controls for that faucet to the hot side. Follow this same procedure for
the shower mixing valve. As a steady stream of water flows from hot side of each faucet, they
should be turned off. Pressure within the system will build and the pressure water pump will
automatically shut off. Priming the system also fills and maintains the water level withinthe
water heater.
6.1-1
E) Shower
Your 330 MARINER is equipped with an enclosed, fiberglass shower enclosure. Thisfeature
allows you and your guests to take a shower with a minimum of preparation and after shower
cleanup.
The drain basin of the stall shower is positioned lower than the boat's water line. Because of
this, a shower sump pump is needed to drain the basin and to discharge the shower drain
water overboard or into a grey water holding tank. The shower sump is located under the
forward access hatch for the forward bilge. Refer to Section 3.3 for the exact location of the
shower sump.
To activate the shower sump pump turn the battery selector switch to position #1 or #2. Then
turn the 12 volt MAIN circuit breaker and the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled SHOWER to the
"ON" position. When these two procedures have been foliowed the shower sump will operate
automatically.
After showering, leave the water flow for 30 seconds to rinse the sump of soap residue.
A TIP FROM CARVER: “To obtain the most consistent shower temperature turn the COLD
water valve on full, then mix hot water until the desired temperature is achieved. This sys-
tem will keep the pressure water pump running, eliminating widely fluctuating water tempera-
ture.”
F) Water System Maintenance
If the water flow from the shower appears to become restricted, it may be due to the accumula-
tion of sediment at the shower head. Ifthis happens, remove the head, rinse with clean water,
and clean the discharge holes with a fine wire.
Periodically remove and clean the filter screens from the faucet discharge spouts. Cleanthe
screens with a fine wire if necessary. A build-up of debris in the faucet filter screens can
create enough restriction to cause the pump to repeatediy cycle on and off.
There is an in-line filter installed near the pressure water pump. Cleanthis filter onamonthly
basis.
Clean the screens inthe water tank vents on an annual basis.
Flush and sanitize your water system at least once per season. Flushinginvolves draining all
water from the system. Sanitizing involves using acommercially-made tank sanitizing liquid
that is available at any weli stocked marine supply store.
6.1-3
6) The engine heat exchanger will also needto be included in the winterization
process. A 5/8" heater hose carries engine coolent from the port engine to the
water heater and back to the engine. This heater hose must be drained prior to
winter storage. Remove both heater hose connections from the engine and use air
pressure to blow water from the line. Antifreeze canthen be poured into the hose.
! DANGER !
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE ANTIFREEZE to winterize your boat's fresh
water system. Automotive antifreeze is poisonous.
G) Spring Commissioning
Flushthe complete water system with fresh water during spring commissioning. Non-toxic
antifreeze is colored, so your system is adequately flushed when uncolored water flows from
the faucets and shower.
6.1-5
6.1-277 TRANSOM SHOWER
Option #277
The transom shower option is a convenient item that allows you and your guests to rinse
off with warm, fresh water after swimming. This option is especially handy on boats used
in salt water.
A) Using the Transom Shower
The transom shower is an integral part of your boat's fresh water system. Use it just as
you would use the shower located in the boat's head compartment.
B) Winterizing
To winterize the transom shower:
1) Follow the instructions on winterizing your boat's fresh water system found in
Sections 6.1 and 8.6.
2) As you are winterizing the fresh water system, turn the transom shower on until a |
stream of antifreeze flows from the nozzle.
3) Be sure to flush the shower nozzie with clean water during spring commissioning.
6.1277 - 1
6.1-283 FRESH WATER WASHDOWN
Option #283
Fresh water washdown enables you to use fresh water from the boat's water storage tanks
to washdown and clean your boat. Fresh water washdown is particularly useful in salt
water areas. | |
A) - Using Fresh Water Washdown
1) Locate the cockpit mounted hose fitting.
2) Attach the nylon water hose to the cockpit hose fitting. This requires a special hose
that has a male hose fitting on each end. Screw a nozzle to the other end of the
hose. The best type of nozzle to use is the “pistol grip” type that can be opened and
closed by squeezing your hand.
3) Turn the battery selector switch to position #1 or #2. Turn the 12 voit MAIN circuit
breaker and the 12 volt circuit breaker labeled EXTRA to the "ON" position.
4) The washdown system uses a 12 voit automatic pump to create water pressure.
When the hand nozzle is in the closed position the pressure will build within the
washdown system and the automatic pressure pump will shut off when a
predetermined amount of pressure has been reached. Opening the hand nozzle
will release pressure and will engage the pressure water pump.
! CAUTION 1}
DO NOT run the washdown pressure water pump when the onboard water storage
tanks are empty. The pump may become damaged if it is allowed to operate with no
water.
A TIP FROM CARVER: “Remember that the fresh water washdown system draws its
water from the boat's fresh water storage tanks. Prolonged use will quickly reduce the
amount of fresh water contained within the onboard storage tanks.”
6.1/283 - 1
6.1-284 RAW WATER WASHDOWN
Option #284
Raw water washdown enables you to use sea water for washdown and cleaning.
A)
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Using Raw Water Washdown:
locate the cockpit mounted hose fitting.
Locate and open the seacock that supplies seawater to the raw water washdown
pump. |
Attach the 3/4" nylon water hose to the cockpit hose fitting. This requires a special
hose that has a male hose fitting on each end. Screw a nozzle to the other end of
the hose. The best type of nozzle to use is the “pistol grip” type that can be opened
and closed by squeezing your hand.
Turn the battery selector switch to position #1 or #2. Turn the 12 volt MAIN circuit
breaker to the "ON" position. Turn on the breaker labeled SPARE.
The washdown system uses an automatic 12 volt pump to create pressure. When
the hand nozzle is in the closed position the pressure will build within the system.
The automatic pressure pump will shut off when a predetermined amount of
pressure has been reached. Opening the hand nozzle will release pressurized
water and will engage the pressure water pump.
' CAUTION!
DO NOT run the washdown pressure water pump when the seacock that supplies
sea water to the system is closed. The pump may become damaged if it is allowed
to operate with no water.
В)
Winterizing the System
The raw water washdown system must be winterized to avoid damage caused by freezing
temperatures.
To winterize your raw water washdown system:
1)
2)
Locate and close the seacock that is connected to the thru hull fitting that supplies
your washdown system with seawater. This seacock is in the center of the boat's aft
bilge compartment.
Remove the hose that is connected to the seacock you closed in step #1.
6.1/284 - 1
6.1-287 SHORE WATER HOOK-UP
Option #287
Shore water hook-up utilizes dockside city water as the fresh water source while your boat
is docked. When your boat is connected to shore water you are not drawing from the fresh
water supply stored within your onboard water tanks.
A) To Connect to Shore Water Hook-up
1) Locate the shore water hook-up fitting that has been installed on your boat. This
fitting is labeled “SHORE WATER” and is located on the starboard side of the
cockpit.
2) Attach a water hose between the shore water fitting and the dockside water tap.
3) Turn the dockside water tap on.
~ Connecting your boat to shore water bypasses the boat's water tanks and pressure water
pump. Connecting the boat to shore water does not "automatically" fill the fresh water
tanks. The only way to fill the onboard tanks is through the water fill deck plate.
6.1/287 - 1
6.2 BILGE SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
A) Design
Your boat's design incorporates a bilge that is located beneath the cabin and cockpit floor.
The bilge is the lowest point in the interior of the boat's hull where any liquid that finds its
way into the hull will accumulate.
The 330 MARINER bilge is divided into three sections:
1) The forward bilge which starts forward of the boat's salon and continues to the bow
of the boat.
2) The midship's bilge area which contains the water tanks, and various other gear.
3) The aft bilge which is located under the cockpit floor. The aft bilge contains the
engines, batteries, battery charger, steering linkage, engine mufflers, and generator
if so equipped.
See Section 3 for bilge layout information.
An 1100 GPH (galion per hour) automatic bilge pump has been installed in each one of the
three bilge compartments.
| CAUTION !
If you keep your boat in a cold climate where temperatures can drop below freezing,
make sure that all water within the bilge is drained prior to storing the boat for the
winter. Water left to freeze in the bilge could lead to severe damage to your boat
and its components.
B) Maintenance
The bilge area should be kept clean by removing any dirt or debris and by using any of the
"commercially available" bilge cleaners that are available from your Carver Dealer. Keep-
ing a dry, clean bilge will help reduce moisture and minimize odor within your boat.
The bilge area of your boat should not be used as a storage area. Storing loose items in
the bilge could damage pumps, pipes or other components that are essential parts of your
boat's operational system.
6.2 - 1
The bilge pump installed in the midship's bilge compartment is only designed to operate in
the “automatic” setting.
Test each switch by lifting the float. Lifting the float should turn the bilge pump on.
Manual Operation
The fore and aft bilge pumps can also be operated manually. A set of bilge pump control
switches have been installed at each helm station to manually control the pumps.
For manual operation, turn the 12 volt circuit breakers labeled FWD BILGE and AFT
BILGE to the "ON" position.
At the helm station, turn the switch marked FWD BILGE PUMP or AFT BILGE PUMP to the
"ON" position.
NOTE: The midship's bilge pump cannot be operated in a manual mode.
A TIP FROM CARVER: “A certain amount of water will always collect in your boat's bilge.
Especially in the bilge area where the shaft log is located. The small amount of water that
normally accumulates is usually not enough to activate an automatic float switch.
"While underway and on plane, use the helm station switches to turn your bilge pumps on
manually and let them run for 30 seconds to a minute.
"Where possible, the bilge pumps on your 330 MARINER are located in the aft most sec-
tions of each bilge. When your boat is on plane bilge water will flow to the aft area of the
bilge and be pumped overboard by your manually activated bilge pumps.”
! CAUTION !
WHEN OPERATING THE BILGE PUMPS IN THE MANUAL MODE, DON'T FORGET TO
TURN THEM "OFF" AFTER WATER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BILGE. Leav-
ing a pump run dry could seriously damage the pump.
Your boat's bilge pumps will remove the water that may collect within the bilge, but don't
expect them to pump the bilge absolutely dry. If you insist upon an absolutely dry bilge
you will need to remove the last bit of water with a sponge and bucket.
D) Bilge Pump Maintenance
Periodically inspect and clean the bilge pump strainers. DO NOT allow dirt and debris to
clog the intakes of the bilge pumps. Frequently check the operation of each bilge pump
switch to ensure that they are operating properly.
6.2 - 3
6.3 SANITATION SYSTEM
Your 330 MARINER is equipped with a self-contained sanitation holding system that when
properly used conforms to all United States antipollution laws.
A) Waste Holding Tank
The 330 MARINER utilizes a 20 gallon waste holding tank. This tank is made of molded
plastic and is installed below the cabin floor in the forward bilge compartment. Refer to
Section 3.3 for the exact location of the 20 gallon waste holding tank.
A deodorizing chemical must be added to your waste holding tank before it is used. This
chemical should also be used after every pump-out. Use the deodorizer recommended by
your Carver Dealer and follow the directions supplied by the manufacturer of the product.
The plastic used to mold the waste holding tank is translucent. The volume of waste
contained within the tank can easily be seen by lifting the access hatch in the cabin floor
and looking at the side of the tank. This makes it easy to monitor the level of waste con-
tained within the tank.
! CAUTION !
DO NOT overfill your boat's waste holding tank. When the tank becomes full do not
use the head until you have emptied the holding tank. Overfilling the waste tank
could plug the vent and/or rupture the tank. A ruptured tank will allow its contents
to empty into your boat's bilge.
B) Emptying The Waste Holding Tank
1) Locate a dockside pump-out station.
2) Remove the deck fitting cap labeled WASTE using the cap removal tool supplied
with your boat. The WASTE deck fitting is located on the bow of the the boat.
3) Attach the pump-out vacuum hose to the open WASTE deck plate. The transfer
process uses a vacuum action making a secure connection between the transfer
hose and the deck fitting essential.
4) Activating the pump-out vacuum will transfer onboard waste to a dockside holding
station.
5) After all waste is removed we suggest filling the waste tank through the deck plate
with a few gallons of fresh water. Attach the activated vacuum hose to the deck
fitting and remove the water used for flushing.
6.3-1
A FEW TIPS FROM CARVER: “Before leaving the boat for an extended period (more than
48 hours) flush the head for at least 10 seconds. This ensures that waste has cleared the
sanitation transfer hose and has entered the holding tank. Waste left within the transfer
hose tends to dry out and harden. This could restrict the internal size of the hose and
hamper future operation.
“Make sure that there is always a small amount of water left in the bowl of the head. This
acts as a trap and will reduce unwanted odors.
“Soa water is used to flush all onboard heads. Material suspended in sea water (seaweed,
aquatic organisms, etc.) can become trapped within the passages of the system and lead
to bowl! staining and unwanted odors. In-lire deodorant dispensers are available from your
marine supply dealer that will minimize these types of problems. “
C) Winterizing The Sanitation System
The sanitation system must be properly prepared prior to before storing the boat for winter.
To winterize the sanitation system:
| 1) Empty the contents of the waste holding tank and thoroughly flush the system with
FRESH water. Remove as much of the water used in flushing as possible in the
final pumping of the tank.
2) Shut off water supply to the head by closing the head water pick-up valve. Refer to
Section 3.4 for the exact location of the head water pick-up valve. Remove the
water pick-up hose from the valve.
3) Flush the head until all water is drained from the water pick-up hose. Attach the
water pick-up hose to the valve and leave the valve in the closed position.
4) Purchase at least 4 gallons of antifreeze from your Carver Dealer. Refer to
Technical Bulletin #VF-005 issued by Sealand Technology (found on pages 6.3 - 5
& 6.3 - 6 of this Owner's Guide) for their recommendations concerning the proper
type of antifreeze to use. Mix the antifreeze following the instructions supplied on
the antifreeze container label.
5) Flush the antifreeze through the head and let it remain in the waste holding tank
during storage.
6) In spring pour 5 gallons of fresh water through the head and pump the waste
holding tank. Open the water pick-up valve. Fiush the head a few times to prime
the system. Charge the waste tank by adding deodorizer. Use the brand of
deodorizer recommended by your Carver deaier.

SANITATION HOSE MALODOR: ALCOHOL ANTIFREEZE
Affected Installations: Any pleasure craft sanitation systems
utilizing Sealand heavy duty, smooth wall hose (identified with
"SeaLand” marked in blue on outer surface).
Symptoms: A strong malodor 1s evident from a non-specific
source. No indication of leakage or a loose fitting is present.
Cause: Sealand heavy duty, smooth wall sanitation hose ¡is
especially formulated with a malodor resistant ingredient. This
ingredient is designed to prevent malodor molecules from permeat-
ing the hose wall. If an alcohol based antifreeze is used, the
malodor resistant ingredient in the hose 15 removed and failure
will result sometime later.
One brand which has been found to definitely cause this type of
failure is ARTIC BAN from Camco Manufacturing Company. This
statement 1s supported by gas chromatography and scanning
electron microscopy studies at the Institute of Polymer Science,
University of Akron.
Note: Other liguids such as petroleum solvents, fuels and pine
oll cleaners will also produce similar results.
Troubleshooting: 1.) Carefully inspect all fittings and joints
to assure malodor is not coming from a loose fitting or hose
joint. 2.) With a clean paper towel or cloth, rub the outside of
the hose. At regular intervals check the cloth to determine if
malodor has been transferred to cloth or paper. 3.) Determine if
boat has been winterized using antifreeze, and if so, determine
the type. SeaLand can verify if the hose has failed due to
chemical attack by examination of a small sample.
Corrective Action: Once a hose has been degraded by exposure to
an alcohol based antifreeze, it cannot be repaired. The only
remedy is to replace the contaminated hose. It 1s clearly stated
in the Sealand Owner's Manuals that alcohol based products should
never be used (see exhibit on reverse side). Hose failure for
this reason is considered misuse and is not covered by SeaLand's
warranty policy.
The recommended antifreeze is propylene glycol base without
alcohol. Brands recommended by Sealand are listed on the reverse
side.
Information concerning proper hose care should be given to all
boat owners. An information card with this information is en-
closed. Instructions for ordering copies are on the card.

6.3-141 GREY WATER SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
Option #141
A) Design And Purpose
Certain areas of the United States and Europe have initiated antipoliution regulations that
require the installation of a grey water waste system. This system drains all sink and
shower drain water into onboard holding tanks, rather than directly overboard.
In boats equipped with a grey water system, the head compartment sink and shower drain
into the 20 gallon waste holding tank. An additional 20 gallon grey water holding tank has
been installed in the aft bilge. The galley sink drains into this tank.
The 20 gallon waste holding tank and the 20 galion grey water tank are emptied through
the deck fitting labeled WASTE that is mounted on the bow of the boat.
| CAUTION !
DO NOT overfill the grey water or waste holding tanks. Monitor the level of fluid
within the tanks and empty the tanks when they become full. Overfilling could
rupture the tank causing its contents to empty into the bilge.
B) Winterizing The Grey Water System
1) The 20 gallon waste holding tank will be winterized along with the head and
sanitation system.
2) Empty the 20 gallon grey water holding tank using a dockside pump-out facility.
3) Pour 1 quart of non-toxic antifreeze into the galley sink drain. This antifreeze will
drain into the 20 gallon grey water tank.

6.3-163 OVERBOARD DISCHARGE - 330 MARINER
Options #160 & #163
In certain coastal areas of the world it is lawful to directly discharge waste into the sea. To
accommodate this procedure Carver offers two overboard discharge options.
Option #160 is only available on units that will be exported out of the United States. This
option discharges waste directly from the head into the sea. There is no onboard waste
holding tank included in option #160.
Option #163 is available on boats that will be exported or used in the coastal areas of the
United States only. This option permits the owner of a 330 MARINER to use the onboard
holding tank or discharge directly overboard.
t CAUTION !
It is against the law to discharge waste overboard in many areas of the United
States. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are in compliance with Fed-
eral and local laws when using your boat's overboard discharge system. People
who discharge waste overboard in restricted areas are subject to sizable penalties.
QPTION #163 - OVERBOARD DISCHARGE
Sanitation systems equipped with overboard discharge option #163 can be used in any of
the following ways:
A) Dockside discharge where waste is pumped into and stored within the 20
gallon waste holding tank.
1) Locate the 3-way valve that is installed in the forward bilge. Turn the valve handle to
the "WASTE HOLDING" position.
2) Positioning the 3-way valve in this manner diverts all waste to the waste holding
tank. Refer to Section 6.3 for instrucitons on how to empty the holding tank using a
dockside pump-out station.
B) Direct overboard discharge where waste is pumped directly overboard
whenever the head is flushed, bypassing the waste holding tank.
1) Open the overboard discharge thru-hull viave that is installed in the forward bilge.
2) Turn the handle of 3-way valve to the "OVERBOARD DISCHARGE" position.
3) Flushing the head bypasses the holding tank and immediately transfers waste
directly overboard.
6.3/163 - 1
A TIP FROM CARVER: “The overboard discharge system incorporates a good deal of
sanitation hose, valves, a “Y fitting, and a transfer pump. If waste is permitted to remain
within the sanitation hose for extended periods it may dry out and harden. This will reduce
the interior size of the hose and reduce the efficiency of the system. We suggest you clear
the lines by flushing the head for at least 10 seconds prior to leaving the boat for an ex-
tended period (48 hours or more). Also, when using the system in the direct overboard or
overboard transfer mode, allow the head to flush or the transfer pump to run long enough
to clear the sanitation hose of all waste.”

Winterizing The Overboard Discharge Sanitation System
Empty the waste holding tank. Flush the tank with FRESH water and empty the
tank again.
Close the water pick-up valve. Remove the water pick-up hose from the valve
fitting. Flush the head until all water is removed from the water pick-up hose.
Attach the water pick-up hose to the water pick-up valve. Leave the valve
closed.
Purchase 10 gallons of non-toxic antifreeze from your Carver Dealer. Follow the
recommendations provided in Technical Bulletin #VF-005 by Seal.and Technology
regarding the type of antifreeze to use to avoid damaging the lining of the sanitation
hose. This technical bulletin can be found on pages 6.3 - 5 and 6.3 - 6 of this
Owner's Guide.
Turn the 3-way valve to the "WASTE HOLDING" position. Flush 10 gallons of
antifreeze through the head and into the holding tank.
Open the Overboard discharge valve. Turn the waste transfer pump “ON" and let it
run until a stream of antifreeze flows from the overboard discharge fitting. Tum off
the pump but leave the valve open.
Turn the 3-way valve to the "OVERBOARD DISCHARGE" position. Pour antifreeze
in the head and flush the head until a stream of antifreeze flows from the overboard
discharge valve. Close the valve.
In spring, flush and pump the holding tank to remove the antifreeze and continue to
use the system in the normal fashion.

CONTROLS AND FUEL SYSTEM
71 ENGINE GAUGES
Each helm station is equipped with.a complete set of gauges for each engine. These
instruments allow you to monitor the operation and condition of your boat's engines.
(Gauges located on the starboard side of your helm station correspond to the starboard
engine. Port side gauges correspond to the port engine.
Familiarize yourself with these gauges before running your engines for the first time.
! CAUTION !
Engine operator's manuals have been included within your boat's OEM supplied
materials package. The engine manual is a detailed and comprehensive manual that
will provide you with information on proper operation and maintenance of the en-
gines. DO NOT START OR OPERATE YOUR BOAT'S ENGINES WITHOUT FIRST
READING THE ENGINE OPERATOR'S MANUAL.
A) The Following Gauges Are Installed On The Instrument Panel
Tachometer
There are two tachometers on each helm station, one for each engine.
The tachometer monitors and indicates the speed of an engine as measured in “revolu-
tions per minute” or RPM. This speed has no relationship with your boat's speed over the
water nor do the tachometers necessarily indicate the speed of propeller rotation.
The tachometers may not register zero RPM when the respective engine's ignition key is
turned off. This is normal.
NOTE: The engine manufacturer has established a maximum RPM rating for your en-
gines. This rating can be found in the engine operator's guide. Refer to your engine
operator's guide for further information concerning maximum RPM. DO NOT EXCEED
THE MAXIMUM RPM RATING.
Temperature Gauge
There are two temperature gauges at each helm station, one for each engine. A tempera-
ture gauge monitors the cooling system of an engine. Every engine is designed to operate
within a specified temperature range. A sudden increase in an engine's temperature could
indicate that the cooling water intake system has become blocked, a water intake hose has
failed or the engine's water pump has malfunctioned.
Your engines are equipped with alarms that will sound when an engine's temperature rises
beyond a predetermined level. If you hear this alarm look at the temperature gauges to
determine which engine has overheated. Shut down the overheated engine immediately.
71-1
The 330 MARINER utilizes a singie voltmeter gauge for both batteries. A toggle switch
below the gauge allows you to select either battery #1 or #2. The voltmeter is protected by
a circuit breaker located on the battery selector switch panel.
A detailed explanation on how to use the voltmeters to monitor battery capacity is included
in Section 4.1 of this Owner's Guide.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays an approximate indication of the level of fuel that is held within the
fuel tanks. A toggle switch below the gauge allows you to select either the port or starboard
fuel tank. This gauge is not calibrated and should not be regarded as a precise or highly
accurate method of measuring availabie fuel quantities.
The fuel gauge will display a reading when the ignition switch for the appropriate engine is
turned to the "ON" position.
Engine Synchronizer
The engine synchronizer is a gauge that compares the speed of both of your engines. The
gauge responds to changes in engine speed. When the needle is centered, your engines
are in proper synchronization. Use the synchronizer to match engine speed rather than the
position of the throttle controls.
B) Gauge Maintenance
The gauge panel should be protected from the sun and weather when not in use. instru-
ment gauges are not waterproof. Protecting them from the elements will prolong their life.
NOTE: Some gauges can collect condensation within the gauge assembly. This condition
is indicated by small beads of moisture behind the gauge's glass bezel. This moisture
does not indicate a defective gauge. The Carver Limited Warranty does not include re-
placing gauges that are cosmetically affected by condensation.
Electronic gauges can be affected by static electricity that may build up on the glass face of
the gauge. Periodic washing of the gauge face with warm water and mild liquid detergent
will help reduce the static electricity problem and improve gauge accuracy.
71-3
7.2 CONTROLS AND STEERING
A) Gear And Throttle Controls
The gear shifts and throttles consist of three major components:
Shift Levers
Shift levers are installed on the port side of the steering wheel. The port lever controls the
port engine and the starboard lever controls the starboard engine.
The shift levers allow you to shift from neutral to forward or reverse. These levers are
designed to permit independent shifting of each engine. This improves maneuverability in
tight quarters.
| CAUTION !
DO NOT shift into or out of gear while the engine speed (as indicated on the ta-
chometers) is above 800 RPMs. Costly damage to your boat's drive train could
result.
A neutral safety switch is incorporated into the linkage of each gear shift. This safety
switch will not permit you to start the engines while they are in gear.
A TIP FROM CARVER: "If you turn the ignition switch and the engine starter fails to en-
gage it may be because the neutral safety switch for that engine is slightly out of adjust-
ment. If this happens wiggle the gear shift fore and aft until the starter engages. !
Throttles
The throttles are installed on the starboard side of the steering wheel. The port throttle
lever controls the port engine and the starboard throttle controls the starboard engine.
The throttles allow you to increase or decrease the speed of each engine. These levers
are also designed to permit independent control of each engine's speed.
! CAUTION |!
ALWAYS return the throttles to the extreme low speed position before shifting the
engines into or out of gear. Failure to follow this procedure may result in drive train
damage. |

7.3 FUEL SYSTEM - 330 MARINER
The 330 MARINER utilizes two fuel tanks, port and starboard, for a total fuel capacity of
190 gallons. Fuel tanks are filled through deck fill plates located on the port and starboard
transom. Fuel systems installed by Carver meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S.
Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and the American Boat and Yacht Council
during the time your boat was constructed. Each tank must pass a rigid test conducted by
the tank manufacturer. In addition to this test, all fuel systems are inspected and pressure
tested by Carver. Your Carver Dealer also makes a full inspection of the fuel system prior
to delivering your boat. An entry on the Carver Pre-Delivery Service Record will attest to
the dealer's performance of this fuel system inspection.
The fuel system of the 330 MARINER can be configured several ways depending upon the
propulsion system and optional equipment that has been installed on the boat. To deter-
mine the fuel system that has been installed you must answer the following questions:
1) Is the propulsion system gasoline or diesel?
2) Is the boat equipped with an optional generator?
Refer to Section 7.4 for information on filling the fuel tanks.
A) Gasoline (Petrol) Fuel Systems
Fuel supply valves are used within gasoline fuel systems to control the flow of fuel from
each tank to the engines and generator. Each engine has its own supply valve. if the boat
is equipped with a generator, it will also have its own fuel supply valve. The valve system
within the 330 MARINER allows each engine and the generator to select from either port or
starboard fuel tank.

Gasoline Fuel Supply Valve Panel - 330 MARINER
7.3-1
! WARNING !
DO NOT operate a diesel engine with Its fuel "RETURN" line valve in the closed
position. Fallure to allow unburned fuel to return to the tank will create excessive
pressure within the fuel system that could lead to fuel system failure.
C) Fuel Tank Vents (Gasoline and Diesel)
Each fuel tank is vented overboard. While the tank is being filled, air is displaced by fuel
and escapes through the vent. When fueling, fuel will spurt through the vent when the tank
is nearly full.
Periodically remove and clean the vent screen. The screens prevent insects and dirt from
clogging the vent hose and from contaminating fuel.
D) Fuel Gauges (Gasoline and Diesel)
A fuel gauge is installed at the helm console which displays an approximate indication of
the level of fuel for both tanks installed on the boat. A toggle switch below the gauge allows
you to select either the port or starboard fuel tank. While underway, the “reading” on the
gauges may vary due to the movement of fuel within the tanks.
The fuel gauge will provide only a relative indication of the amount of fuei that remains in a
tank. They are not calibrated instruments.
The port engine ignition must be in the "ON" position for fuel gauge to provide a fuel level
reading. |

74 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - 330 MARINER
Before starting the engines become familiar with the various systems that relate to their
operation.
A) Fueling
Refer to the engine manual for the fuel type and octane rating recommended for your
boat's engines.
Prior To Fueling:
1) Ensure that the boat is securely moored.
2) Close all ports, windows, hatches and doors.
3) Stop fans, motors or any other device that could create a spark. Turn off the stove
and oven. Shut down the generator.
4) DO NOT SMOKE OR ALLOW ANYONE NEAR THE FUEL DOCK TO SMOKE.
5) Turn the battery selector switch to the "OFF" position.
6) Have all guests and passengers leave the boat. Only the fuel handlers should be in
the area.
Fueling:
1) Locate the fuel fill deck plates and remove the deck plate caps.
2) Be certain that the fuel you are about to pump into your boat is the proper type
recommended by the engine manufacturer,
3) Have an approximate idea how many gallons of fuel you will be taking on.
4) Pump fuel into the fuel tanks. While fueling, keep the fuel hose nozzle in contact
with the metal fuel fill deck plate at all times. This is a safeguard against static
spark.
{ CAUTION !
Avoid spilling fuel on the gelcoat surface of your boat. Fuel can stain the gelcoat
and damage the hull accent stripes.
5) Monitor the fuel tank air vents. When the fuel tank is almost full, fue! will spurt out of
the vent.
7.4 - 1
! DANGER !
Operate the bilge blower for AT LEAST 5 minutes prior to starting an engine or on-
board generator AND whenever running the boat at Idle speed. Check bilge blower
output before starting engines or onboard generator.
During the 5 minutes the bilge blower is running you can complete the following steps:
6)

4)
Position the fuel tank selector valves to draw from the desired fuel tank. Refer to
Section 7.3 for additional information concerning the boat's fuel system.
Be sure that all safety gear is onboard and operative. Check out items such as
navigational lights, VHF radio, depth sounder, etc. Make sure your boat carries the
safety equipment required to meet Federal and local regulations.
Check to make sure you have an adequate supply of fresh water. Check level of
waste holding tank.
Remove and store shore power cords and dockside water lines.
STARTING THE ENGINES:
Read, understand and follow the operator's manual that has been prepared and
supplied by the engine manufacturer. The information supplied in the engine manual
takes precedence over information presented in the Carver Owner's Guide.
Put both gear shift controls into NEUTRAL.
Select the engine you will start first. NEVER start both engines at the same time.
When starting cold engines, advance the throttle lever to the full speed position and
return to full idle position. All throttle linkages and controls must work smoothly.
Advancing the throttle in this manner also primes the engine for easier starting.
There is no need to conduct this full throttle advance when starting warm engines.
Doing so could flood the engines and make start-up difficult.
Slightly advance that same throttle. Keep one hand on the throttle and engage the
engine starter by turning the ignition key with your other hand. Release the key
when the engine starts.
| CAUTION!
The ignition switch Is spring activated. Release the key when the engine has
started. Failure to release the ignition key after the engine has started may damage
the starter.
7.4 - 3
If you are new to boating ask your Carver Dealer where you can obtain some training in
yacht handling, rules-of-the-road and navigation. There are numerous publications avail-
able that are on the “must reading” list for a new boater.
Also, we recommend that you attend a safe boating course offered by the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadron or any other boating education agency. Many of
these organizations offer classes that will benefit an experienced yachtsman as well.
It's a thrill for the skipper to complete a perfect docking maneuver. But you canrarely
depend upon luck to help dock your boat. The only way to acquire this skill is through
practice and experience.
The Shakedown Cruise:
Before taking your boat on its first outing be sure that the following tasks have been com-
pleted:
1) Dealer has completed Pre-Delivery commissioning. This inspection has been
documented on the Pre-Delivery Service Document and has been signed by the
dealer and the owner.
2) ALL warranty registration cards have been completed and mailed.
3) You have read and understand The Carver Owner's Guide and all other literature
pertaining to your boat's systems.
4) Safety equipment on board your boat is in compliance with Federal and local
regulations.
5) Your boat has been documented or registered and displays the appropriate
identification on the hull.
6) A representative from your Carver Dealer has reviewed the operation of the boat
and its systems with you and answered your questions.
If possible, pick a calm day for your first outing. The shake-down cruise with a new boat is
not the best time to bring friends or guests along. Entertaining guests will distract you from
the real purpose of the cruise, that is to familiarize yourself with your new boat. Bring only
those people (wife and children) who will makeup your regular crew. Invite the sales
person who sold you the boat or a member of your Carver Dealer's service staff along for
the ride.
Carry a pad and pencil with you during this first outing. Write down any questions that
come to mind during the cruise so you can discuss them with your dealer.

Before advancing the throttles, depress both switches on the BOW UP side for 5
seconds. This lifts the tabs to the full "up" position.
Advance the throttles to bring the boat on plane. Adjust engine RPM for cruising
speed.
Use the trim tabs individually to make beam to beam adjustments. If the majority of
your passengers are sitting on the port side, you may find that the starboard side of
your boat is riding higher than the port. Push the BOW DOWN side of the starboard
trim tab control switch for a ONE-HALF SECOND interval. Continue to adjust in half
second intervals until the desired trim angle is achieved.
if your passengers decide to shift to the other side of the boat level your boat by
pressing the BOW UP side of the starboard trim tab control for a few seconds. This
neutralizes your prior adjustment. Next press the BOW DOWN side of the port tab
control switch to adjust the trim of the boat.
Trim tab switches can be used together to bring the bow of the boat to a lower
attitude. Press both switches together at HALF-SECOND intervals to bring the bow
down.
! WARNING!
DO NOT OVERTRIM. Make your adjustments in HALF-SECOND intervals and allow
the boat to adjust to trim tab input. Overtrimming could cause the bow to veer and
may lead to loss of control.
ALWAYS reset the both tabs to the BOW UP position BEFORE advancing throttles
to achieve plane. Initial acceleration with lowered tabs could lead to a loss of con-
trol.
A TIP FROM CARVER: "Get into the habit of retracting the tabs (full BOW UP position)
whenever the boat is not at planing speed or when the boat is at rest. This habit provides
the following benefits:
1) If you attempt to back out of your slip with one tab up and the other down your boat
2)
will not back straight. The drag from the lowered tab will make the boat veer to one
side.
Tabs are controlled by a hydraulic cylinder that extends and retracts to change the
angle of the tab. Leaving the tabs in the BOW UP position retracts the arm of each
cylinder and protects them from marine growth. *
7.4-7
7.5 ENGINE EXHAUST
Propulsion engines and generator engines emit exhaust while they are operating. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas that can be potentially
lethal when inhaled.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazardous. It is important for you and your
passengers to be aware of the safety hazard created by exhaust fumes. Familiarize your-
self with the symptions of individuals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most importantly,
ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
! DANGER!
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES!!! Exhaust contains carbon monoxide which is
colorless and odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that is potentially
lethal. Persons overcome by carbon monoxide may exhibit the following symp-
toms:
a. incoherence b. Drowsiness С. Loss of Conscienceness
d. - Headaches e. Nausea f. Vomiting
IF YOU THINK EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING YOUR BOAT DETERMINE THE
CAUSE AND HAVE IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!!!
The following suggestions can help prevent exhaust fumes from entering your boat:
1) DO NOT allow the boat to remain stationary with the engines or generator running
for an extended period of time.
2) USE EXTREME CAUTION while operating the engines or generator in confined
areas such as enclosed slips, congested piers or any area where exhaust outlets
are facing or near a bulkhead or wall of any kind. Operation under such conditions
could lead to exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide entering the boat. This
could happen even though you have all the hatches, windows, doors and portholes
closed. |
3) Never operate the generator while the boat is moored against any other boat, dock
or wall structure that is against or near the exhaust outlet. Operating under these
situations could lead to exhaust containing carbon monoxide entering your boat or
the boat to which you are moored, even though you have all windows, vents, and
portholes closed.
4) Persons sleeping can easily be overcome by carbon monoxide without realizing it.
Sleeping while the engines or generator are running is NOT RECOMMENDED!

8.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
This section provides guidelines that will make you aware of the areas within your boat that
need periodic attention. Time periods listed in this section are only rough guidelines. The
more frequent your boat is used, the more often periodic maintenance needs to be per-
formed. Boats used in salt water will require more maintenance, especially on the exterior
ot the boat.
OEM supplied manuals include information on detailed maintenance procedures that you
should follow. Read these manuals and follow the component manufacturers suggestions.
Maintenance tasks have been divided into 4 categories:
TYPE "A" MAINTENANCE
Type A maintenance should be performed 48 hours after a new boat has been launched
AND 48 hours after a boat has been launched following a period of on-shore storage.
TYPE "B" MAINTENANCE
Type B maintenance should be performed after the first 25 hours of operation following
initial launching and after periods of on-shore storage.
TYPE "C" MAINTENANCE
Type C maintenance should be performed twice each season, every 6 months or every
100 hours, whichever period is more frequent.
TYPE "D" MAINTENANCE
Type D maintenance is performed seasonally, every 12 months or after every 200 hours of
use, whichever period is more frequent.

8.2 EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
A) Fiberglass Surfaces
The exterior fiberglass surfaces of the 330 MARINER are coated with a protective layer of
gelcoat. Gelcoat offers a hard, smooth and durable surface. It does, however, contain
very small pores that will collect dirt and discolor if the surface is not kept clean.
Washing the boat with fresh water after each outing will help keep the gelcoat clean. This
is especially important for boats that are used in salt water. Periodically wash the boat with
fresh water and a mild soap solution. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. Abrasive
cleaners will scratch and dull the gelcoat surface. Use a sponge to wash smooth surfaces
and a stiff nylon or natural bristle brush to wash non-skid surfaces.
Wax all non-tread areas at least once a season. Use a high quality, non-yellowing, marine
wax. Waxing your boat will provide a shiny surface and it will seal the pores in the gelcoat
surface and make it easier to keep clean.
! WARNING !
DO NOT wax the non-skid surfaces. it will make them slippery and dangerous to
walk on.
Gelcoat will eventually become dull with age, much like the paint on your car. When it
becomes dull we suggest cleaning the gelcoat with an electric buffer and a fine grade
polishing compound. Be careful, as the continued and overly frequent use of abrasive
polishing compounds will eventually erode the gelcoat surface. Use the finest grade com-
pound that will accomplish the task. Ask your Carver Dealer what brand and grade of
polish to use.
Stress cracks are a common occurrence on all fiberglass boats. In the majority of in-
stances these cracks are cosmetic and limited to the gelcoat surface only. Gelcoat stress
cracks are rarely an indication of structural failure. If you discover stress cracks on your
boat contact your Carver Dealer.
NOTE: The repair of cosmetic non-structural gelcoat stress cracks is not included under
the terms of the Carver Limited Warranty.
Gelcoat Repair:
Cosmetic repair of minor gelcoat nicks and scratches is not difficult nor does it require the
use of special or unique tools. Any boat owner with a little practice can make visually
satisfying repairs. Repairs to fiberglass laminates or structural fiberglass components are
best left to the experienced technicians at your Carver Dealer.
A gelcoat repair kit is available from your Carver Dealer (Carver part number 82036-03).
This kit includes color matched gel, gel hardener, and detailed instructions on making gel
repairs.
8.2 - 1
D) Stainless Steel Rails and Hardware
Stainless steel is not rust resistant nor is it stain resistant. When left in contact with the
marine environment it will rust and corrode. Proper care will help keep the stainless fittings
on your boat looking bright and shiny.
Wash your boat with fresh water after each outing. Boats used in salt water should be
washed with fresh water at least once per week, even if they have not been used. Clean
stainless rails and fittings with soap and water. Glass cleaner is also good for cleaning
stainless steel. Rust must be removed as soon as it is discovered. Failure to remove rust
will lead to irreversible pitting. Use brass, silver or chrome polish to remove rust on stain-
less steel. Waxing stainless fittings and rails will help keep them in top shape. Use the
same wax you use on the fiberglass surfaces of the boat.
i CAUTION !
NEVER use abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool to clean stainless steel fittings or
rails. NEVER use mineral acids or bleach to clean stainless steel. NEVER let stain-
less steel come into prolonged contact with iron, steel or other metals which cause
contamination leading to rust or corrosion.
E) Decorative Striping Tape
A variety of decorative stripes are used on the exterior of the 330 MARINER. Striping
tapes are custom made to Carver's color and size specifications. Replacement striping
tape is only available through authorized Carver Dealers. To remove a damaged section of
tape, heat the area with a hair dryer. This will soften the adhesive and make the tape
easier to remove. Adhesive residue can be removed with acetone.
! CAUTION !
Be careful when fueling your boat. Avoid spilling fuel on the decorative boot stripe
or any other tape. Spilling fuel on the striping tape will damage the tape.
F) Windows
The window and hatch frames on your 330 MARINER are fabricated from aluminum.
Some of these frames are painted with enamel. Clean painted and unpainted frames with
fresh water and a mild soap solution. Use a sponge to clean window frames. Using a
brush or abrasive cleaner will scratch and damage the appearance of the painted frame
surface.
The cabin windows on the 330 MARINER are made from tempered glass. Clean these
surfaces with a soft rag and glass cleaner. The bridge wind screen is made from formed
plexiglass. DO NOT use glass cleaner to clean plexiglass. Use a mild solution of soap
and fresh water.

White Vinyl
White exterior enclosures are made from vinyl coated materials. Clean this material with a
sponge and mild soap solution. Heavy dirt can be removed using a vinyl cleaner. Treat
the vinyl with a vinyl protectant product twice each season.
Sunbrella
Colored canvas enclosures are made from Sunbrella fabric. Sunbrella should be cleaned
regularly before dirt is allowed to accumulate and become embedded in the fabric. The
fabric can be cleaned without removing it from the stainless steel bow supports. Brush off
all loose dirt and hose down with a mild solution of natural soap and lukewarm water (no
more than 100 degrees F.). Rinse with fresh water to remove soap. DO NOT USE DE-
TERGENTS.
For stubborn stains: Remove the fabric from the bow supports. Soak fabric for 20 minutes
is a solution of no more than 1/2 cup (4 oz.) Clorox and 1/4 cup (2 oz.) natural soap per
gallon of iukewarm water (no more than 100 degrees F.). Rinse with fresh water to re-
move soap.
CAUTION !
Excessive soaking in Clorox can damage sew threads. Cleaning Sunbrella using
the method described above may remove part of the fabric's water repellency. Treat
the fabric with an application of an air-curing fluorocarbon water repellent treatment
to restore water repeilency.
DO NOT SUBJECT CANVAS FABRICS TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. Fabric must be dry be-
fore storage and stored in a dry, ventilated area.
Enclosure Curtains
The enclosure curtain's clear vinyl windows are easily scratched if cleaned incorrectly.
Because of this, use only NON-ABRASIVE cleaners and a soft cloth to clean these sur-
faces. Glass cleaner and a clean , soft cloth can be used to remove water spots. Dirt and
dust can be removed with a very mild soap solution and a clean, soft cloth. DO NOT use
paper towel to clean the clear vinyl enclosure windows. Paper towel will scratch the win-
dows.
There are several cleaners available that are made specifically for vinyl windows. If you
elect to purchase and use one of these cleaners, try the product on a small, inconspicuous
area to make sure the product does not damage or scratch the vinyl surface.

8.3 INTERIOR MAINTENANCE
One of the best things you can do on a continued basis to maintain the interior of your boat
is to make sure the cabin is well ventilated. Do not allow moisture to accumulate in the
boat's interior. This will lead to a damp, musty environment. Mildew will form if the interior
of the boat is damp. Ventilate the boat's interior whenever possible.
A) Interior Woodwork
Solid teak and teak veneer is used throughout the interior of the 330 MARINER. Treat the
interior woodwork of your boat like you treat your finest furniture. Dust the interior teak on
a regular basis with lemon oil and a soft rag. Avoid using wax based furniture polish.
Avoid laying wet or damp towels or clothing on or against the finished teak surfaces.
Carver finishes interior teak with MOHAWK POUR-N-WIPE FINISH #603-3017. This is an
industrial/commercial grade finish that is not commonly found at local paint and hardware
stores. You can order MOHAWK POUR-N-WIPE (Carver part number 81069-00) through
your Carver dealer.
Instructions for Using MOHAWK POUR-N-WIPE:
The following information appears on the outside of the Pour-N-Wipe container:
“The finish can be easily rejuvenated by cleaning the surface with MOHAWK WAX WASH.
Then, lightly sand the surface and apply a thin coat of Pour-N-Wipe following directions.
The surface will be dust free in 20 minutes, recoatable in four (4) hours and hard enough in
twelve (12) hours to put the piece into service."
DIRECTIONS: Pour-N-Wipe is self-sealing; no sealer or primer is needed. The surface
must be clean, dry and finish sanded. Mix well before using. Apply with a soft, lint-free rag
and in easy, even strokes finishing with the grain of the wood. Allow four hours before re-
coating sanding lightly between each coat. Apply as many coats as desired to achieve
appearance. Use mineral spirits for cleaning up.
B) High Pressure Laminate (HPL)
HPL is used on many of the cabinet faces and counter tops within the boat's interior. HPL
is extremely durable and is easy to clean.
Clean the laminated surfaces with a cleaner made for use on household counter tops.
Avoid using the counter tops as cutting surfaces. Cutting or slicing on the HPL surfaces will
permanently scratch them.

D) Interior Carpet
The carpet used on the interior of the boat has been treated with a popular stain retardant
product. Care for this carpet as you would care for the carpet within your home. Vacuum
often and shampoo as needed.
When your boat is new, the carpet will shed and need to be vacuumed frequently. This is
normal. The shedding will stop after a few weeks.
E) Interior Fiberglass and Plexiglass
Interior Fiberglass:
Gelcoated fiberglass is used to form interior components such as the shower stall, lower
station helm modute and the master stateroom bed platform. Interior fiberglass can be
cleaned with any household cleaner that has been made for cleaning fiberglass. Many of
these types of cleaners are marketed as “tub and tile” cleaners. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on the interior fiberglass surfaces. Abrasive cleaners will scratch and dull the
shiny gelcoat surface.
Plexiglass:
Plexiglass is used to fabricate the shower door and mirrored face of the head compartment
medicine cabinet. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANER TO CLEAN THESE SURFACES!
Glass cleaner will etch the polished surface.
Clean plexiglass with water and mild liquid detergent. Avoid use of abrasive cleaners and
aromatic solvents. Remove fine scratches with fine automotive acrylic rubbing and polish-
ing compound.

8.4 MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE
A) Mechanical System
Engines / Generator
Maintain engines and generator in accordance with the instructions provided in the respec-
tive manufacturers owners manual.
There is an in-line sea water strainer installed in each engine and generator water intake
lines. These strainers must be opened and cleaned at least every 30 days. if you are
operating the boat in dirty waters or areas with a high degree of aquatic vegetation, inspect
these strainers more frequently. A clogged strainer will restrict the intake of sea water
which could lead to an overheated engine.
Thru-Hull Valves
Inspect the thru-huli valves on a monthly basis. Make sure the connections between the
hose and the valve are tight. Look for water leaks around the area where the valve and
hull meet,
Every 30 days open and close each valve two or three times. This will guard against the
valve seizing in the open or closed position. While doing this make sure the valve handle
is securely fastened. Tighten any loose handles.
Propeller Shaft Stuffing Box
! WARNING !
Inspect propeller shaft stuffing boxes ONLY when the engines are off. The engine
compartment contains moving and hot machinery. KEEP YOUR HANDS, FEET AND
BODY OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE ONE OR BOTH OF THE EN-
GINES ARE RUNNING.
Check each stuffing box every month. A slight seepage of water through a stuffing box
while the shaft is turning is normal and helps lubricate the packing. However, there should
be minimal, if any seepage when the shaft is not turning. Tighten the shaft log packing nut
if more than 6 drops of water seep through the shaft log in a minute.
Use two wrenches to tighten the packing nut. Use one wrench on the packing nut and the
other on the jam or lock nut. The propulsion system on your boat is “counter rotating."
The thread rotation utilized in the shaft log packing nut is specified in accordance with the
propeller shaft rotation. If the shaft rotates clockwise (viewed from the stern), the packing
nut utilizes a left hand thread. A right hand thread is used on packing nuts where the shaft
turns counterclockwise. In the case of the 330 MARINER the port shaft log uses a right
hand thread and the starboard shaft log is left hand thread.
8.4 - 1
Propeller Shatt
The prop shaft itself needs little or no maintenance.
Inspect the fasteners used to connect the prop shaft to the engine output flange on a
monthly basis. These bolts must be tight to provide a secure and vibration free connection
between the shaft and the engine.
The alignment of the propeller shaft is critical to good performance and smooth, trouble
free operation. Shaft alignment should be checked every time the boat has been pulled
from the water and launched. Alignment should also be checked every 6 months or twice
a season.
The propeller shaft end is tapered and fits precisely into a matched, tapered coupling. The
coupling is machined from hardened steel and zinc plated to protect against corrosion.
Shaft and coupling are aligned by means of a keyway and hardened steel key. The shaft
end is threaded and a nylok nut secures the coupling to the shaft. This design allows
precision alignment and balancing of the propeller shaft.
Engine and shaft alignment is an exact and critical procedure that should be left to an
individual experienced in making these types of adjustments.
B) Electrical Maintenance
AC System
The AC electrical system in your boat needs very little maintenance.
! DANGER!
' Make sure the boat is disconnected from shore power and the generator is OFF
before conducting inspection or maintenance procedures on the AC electrica! sys-
tem. Working on a HOT electrical system is dangerous and can cause electrical
shock that may injure or cause death.
Inspect electrical connections and breaker terminals for corrosion on an annual basis.
Spray the terminals with an electrical terminal protection spray.
Service the generator in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Inspect the shore power cord(s). Look for cuts or nicks in the plastic insulation. DO NOT
attempt to repair a damaged cord with electrical tape or any other similar material.
8.4

“2
Winter Layup
It is especially important to fully charge batteries before a winter layup or any other long
period of idleness. Remove the batteries from the boat and store in a cool, dry place. Top
them periodically to prevent slow discharge.
Batteries should be maintained at a full charge or returned to full charge once a month or
they will sulphate and lose capacity.
8.5 WATER, BILGE AND SANITATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A) Water System Maintenance
Maintain your boat's water system by emptying, flushing, and sanitizing the system at least
once per season. Products are available at your local marine supply store that are made
to sanitize fresh water systems. |
Clean the in-line water filter every 6 months or twice per season. This filter is located near
the pressure water pump.
The outlet for the water tank vent is installed on the port side of the boat's hull. This vent
includes a screen over the vent opening to prevent dirt and insects from entering the vent
hose. Clean this vent screen every 6 months or twice a season.
Clean the shower sump frequently. Hair, dirt and soap scum will collect in the sump and if
left unattended will eventually clog the sump pump system.
B) Bilge
Keeping your boat's bilge clean is important. A dirty bilge will lead to clogged bilge pumps
and unwanted cabin odors.
Wipe all oil and dirt from the bilge. Treat the bilge with a commercially available bilge
cleaning detergent twice a season.
Clean the bilge pumps twice a season. Wipe any dirt or oil from the exterior surface of the
pump. Clean the float switch so that it operates freely. Remove dirt from the bilge pump
inlet screen.
C) Sanitation System
A marine sanitation system that is not maintained properly can create a variety of unpleas-
ant problems. Unlike other systems within the boat that only require periodic attention,
sanitation system maintenance is an ongoing process that must be maintained to avoid
problems.
Always use waste system deodorizer. Use the brand recommended by your Carver
Dealer.
A boat's head and sanitation system is not like the toilet and sewer in a home. Do not flush
any items down the head that the head was not designed to accommodate. Instruct non-
boating guests on how to use the head before problems arise. Refer to the OEM supplier's
manual for further advice on how to use, service and maintain the head.
8.5 - 1
8.6 LIFTING, DRY STORAGE AND WINTERIZATION
A) Lifting And Dry Storage
Proper support of the hull during lifting is imperative. Improper lifting can lead to serious
and permanent hull deformation.
Only people experienced and trained in lifting yachts should perform the lifting operation.
Use proper lifting straps. “SLING” tags have been installed on the side-deck of the boat.
These are the only places where slings should be positioned for lifting. Caution must be
taken not to position a lifting sling around the boats shaft or any other underwater gear
component. |
Never rest the boat on its underwater gear. This will cause serious damage to the gear.
Never stand, sit or crawl under a boat that is suspended in a lift.
Dry Storage:
Carver has designed a cradle made specifically for use with the 330 MARINER. We rec-
ommend using this cradle to support the boat during off-season storage.
The forward end of the cradle should be slightly elevated to position the boat in a bow high
attitude. This will allow water to flow to the back of the aft bilge compartment and drain
through the garboard drain. Always store the boat with the garboard drain plug removed.
Protecting the boat from the elements during winter storage is advised. Have your marina
shrink wrap the boat or have a winter storage cover made. Check on the boat throughout
the storage period to make sure that it is in good condition.
B) Winterization
Start the winterization process by draining and winterizing the foliowing systems:
Engines:
Proper procedures must be followed to prepare the boat's engines for winter storage.
Detailed winterizing instructions are included in the engine operator's manual.
8.6 - 1
t
The engine heat exchanger will also need to be included in the winterization process. A
5/8" heater hose runs from an engine to the water heater and back to the engine. This
heater hose must be drained prior to winter storage. Remove both heater hose connec-
tions from the engine and use air pressure to blow water from the line. Antifreeze can then
be poured into the hose.
Transom Shower (optional equipment):
The transom shower is an integral part of your boat's fresh water system. Winterize the
transom shower along with the boat's fresh water system. As you winterize the water
system, turn the shower cold water valve on until a stream of antifreeze flows from the
shower head. Repeat this procedure for the hot water valve.
Fresh Water Washdown (optional equipment):
Fresh water washdown is an integral part of the boat's fresh water system. Winterize the
fresh water washdown system along with the boat's fresh water system.
Remove the hose and nozzle from the washdown fitting. Turn the washdown pump on
until a stream of antifreeze flows from the washdown fitting. Catch this antifreeze in a
bucket.
Raw Water Washdown {optional equipment):
1) Locate and close the thru-hull valve that supplies the washdown pump with sea
water.
2) Remove the hose that is connected to this valve. Put this end of the hose into a
bucket that contains about a gallon of antifreeze.
3) Remove the washdown hose from the cockpit mounted washdown fitting.
4) Place a bucket under the cockpit mounted washdown fitting. Turn the washdown
pump on and leave it on until a stream of antifreeze flows from the washdown
fitting.
5) Turn the washdown pump off and secure the hose to the washdown supply
valve.
Bilge:

Close the water pick-up valve. Remove the water pick-up hose from the valve
fitting. Flush the head until all water is removed from the water pick-up hose. Re-
install the water pick-up hose onto the water pick-up valve. Leave the valve closed.
Purchase 10 gallons of non-toxic antifreeze from your Carver Dealer. Follow the
recommendations provided in Technical Bulletin 4VF-005 by SeaLand Technology
regarding the antifreeze to use to avoid damaging the lining of the sanitation hose.
A copy of this technical bulletin can be found on pages 6.3-5 and 6.3-6 of this
Owner's Guide,
Turn the 3-way valve to the WASTE HOLDING position. Flush 10 gallons of anti
freeze through the head and into the holding tank.
Open the overboard discharge valve. Turn the waste transfer pump on and let it
run until a stream of antifreeze flows from the overboard discharge fitting. Turn off
the pump but leave the valve open.
Turn 3-way valve to the OVERBOARD DISCHARGE position. Pour antifreeze in the
head and flush the head until a stream of antifreeze flows from the overboard
discharge valve. Close the valve.
In spring, flush and pump the holding tank to remove the antifreeze and continue to
use the system in the normal fashion.
Exterior:
The boat should be cleaned prior to winter storage. This will make preparing the boat for
the next season that much easier.
Wash the exterior of the boat, particulariy the underwater portions. Remove as much
aquatic growth as possible while it is still wet. Once it has dried it will be more difficult to
remove.
Check the shaft and transom zincs for deterioration. If the zincs shows signs of deteriora-
tion have them replaced before spring launch.
Check stainless steel rails and fittings for signs of rust. Remove rust prior to winter lay-up.
Inspect the underwater portions of the hull. Review anything that looks out of the ordinary
with your Carver Dealer.

Select Bill Of Materials
9.1 PROPANE STOVE
Option 260
The propane stove option includes the installation of a two burner propane stove with oven
and a liquid propane storage tank.
For information on using the propane stove and oven refer to the owner's manual provided
by SEAWARD PRODUCTS. This manual can be found in the OEM supplied materials for
your boat,
An ASME LPG fuel tank has been installed under the boat's bridge lounge seat. The
system is designed to be used with LPG (liquid propane gas) only. DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER TYPE OF FUEL. |
The LPG tank must be firmly secured to the boat with the tank in a horizontal position. The
ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) has developed specific standards on how LPG
tanks must be installed. Carver has installed this tank according to those ABYC standards.
DO NOT relocate or reposition the tank.
NOTE: The LPG tank valve outlet fitting and the regulator system nut, by law, have LEFT
HAND THREADS. The nut is so marked with a slot.
Checking the System For Leaks:
Propane systems are inspected and pressure checked as part of Carver's quality assur-
ance process. We do however suggest that you use the following system inspection proc-
ess every time you remove and reinstall the LPG tank.
The following information has been taken from the SeaWard Products Owner’s Manual For
Gas Operated Stoves:
1) After the LPG tank has been installed, the regulator system connected, the hose run
and connected to both appliance and regulator, siowly crack open the LPG tank
valve and observe the pressure gauge on the regulation system. The gauge should
read approximately 110 psi at 70 degrees F. (higher if warmer, or lower if cooler
atmospheric temperature.)
2) Close the LPG tank valve and observe the pressure gauge. It should hold a
constant reading. If you can detect a falling in pressure over a 15 minute period of
time, there is a leak. LEAKS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
a If a leak occures, check all appliance burners to see if they are in the “OFF”
position. |
b. Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.

9.2 HALON FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
A FIREBOY “automatic” Halon 1301 fire suppression system has been installed on your
boat at the Carver factory. This system provides an added measure of fire safety in the
event of an onboard engine compartment fire.
A 7 pound Halon tank and monitor are installed on the aft bulkhead of the engine compart-
ment. A system monitor is installed near the upper helm station. The system monitor is
wired to an ignition switch. The monitor's light should be "ON" when the ignition switch is
turned "ON."
Boats equipped with a factory installed generator have an additional 3.5 pound Halon tank
installed in the aft bilge compartment.
Read the instruction bookiet provided by FIREBOY for more information on the Halon 1301
system. This booklet is included with the OEM materials for your boat.
Halon systems instalied in boats equipped with diesel propulsion engines incorporate an
engine shut-off circuit, When the Halon system is activated, the diesel engines are “auto-
matically” shut down. An override switch is incorporated in the monitor for starting the
diesel engines after the system has been activated. Read the FIREBOY manual for further
instructions.

9.3 PART NUMBER REFERENCE LIST
The following is a select list of "purchased parts" that were used to construct your
330 MARINER. The list is "select" because it does not include every part that went into your
boat, just the parts that are commonly ordered by Carver Owners and Carver Dealers. |
This list is unique to your boat and is the most accurate summary of parts and part numbers
used. If you find a discrepancy between a part number shown on a drawing and a number
used within this parts list, the parts list number will be the correct number.
Contact your Carver Dealer to order replacement parts for your boat. Refer to this list and
order parts by their Carver Part Number.
