View the latest post wiper arms for a carver voyager
- Posted by: Two Finns » December 11th, 2025, 6:12 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hello, I am a new owner to a 2008 52 voyager. The boat wiper motors work but the wiper arms are missing. I didn't think they would be so hard to find. Does anyone know the part # for the arm and were i could buy one?

Hello!
Looking at a Carver 350, only photos, not in person yet. One of the photos shows a decent crack in the transom below the rub rail, starboard side corner. Does this look bad to you, or would it be a fairly easy fix?

View the latest post Attachment(s) Water damaged plywood
- Posted by: drewp » December 6th, 2025, 6:27 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
The port side salon windows in my 1996 325 aft cabin lost their seal and water came into the walls. There is some damage to the floor plywood and the board inside the wall between where the fuel vent is and where according to my carver manual an optional battery can be placed. The picture below (not sure why it is rotated, can’t fix) shows the board without the white ring. I am removing as much of the damaged wood as I can and drying the area out with fans. The other side of board has the foam pads, maybe insulation.
Is this board necessary?
My plan is to remove as much of the damaged wood as possible, dry it out, treat for mold, epoxy the floor plywood. Has anyone ran into a similar situation, any and all tips are appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I purchased a 2002 570 Voyager and am doing a lot of upgrades. I am going to have the flybridge seats reupholstered over the winter, I just need to bring them to the shop where they are going to do the work. The bottom pieces are easy to just lift out, but the backs are attached. If anyone has advice on best way to remove those I would appreciate it.

View the latest post -Stencil kit for upper helm station?
- Posted by: steve&tammy » December 2nd, 2025, 9:33 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi all, hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We are planning some upcoming things for our spring visit to our 1987 Carver 4207 and one of the items I'm struggling with is the upper helm station "stencil"
Do any of you know where to get a replacement stencil kit for the two panels on either side of the wheel? Mine is a brushed-metal background with black lettering for all of the controls, etc. (switch names, spotlight controls, etc)
I'd really like to take the old gauges off, then remove all the old stencil/writing, etc and then polish the metal then put new stencils on.
Who makes em?
Thanks in advance!
Steve and Tammy

View the latest post A/C compressor issue
- Posted by: ColRon » November 18th, 2025, 12:44 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
I have a Dometic Cruisair STQ16 A/C in My Salon. The other day, it was in cool mode and quit normal operation. I found it was showing 98 degrees on the Thermostat, the water pump and fan were running and water was flowing, but the compressor was not running and it was not cooling. the actual inside temp was around 55 degrees. I turned the unit off. I turned the unit off and then turned it on to the Auto mode. The heat cycle kicked on and everything operated normally and it began heating the salon to the set temp of 70 degrees. The following day, the unit kick off again and the compressor was not running, but the fan and water pump were running.
What I have found... When i turn the unit on everything seems to work as normal, the fan comes on, I then hear a click and the water pump starts and then I hear a click for the compressor, however the compressor does not start. Water flow is good, and there is no air handler blockage. I have ran both a low and high pressure switch test at the controller and both report ok and no errors. From what I understand, it the unit is low on freon, I should get an error from the low pressure switch. I also did a system reset at the controller, but no change in condition.
It problem appears to be related to the compressor, does anyone have an ideas on what to look for next?
