Three notes:

1. next week I'm back with access to the files.

2. as stated earlier in this thread, I keep the right to prioritize who gets 'served' first. It's a hobby, the files are not high quality digitally produced PDF files, it's a bit of a mix of scanned type written papers and most of them are helpful to provide circumstantial information, Carver never built the boats with these in hand, they are not building manuals.

3. At the same time, everyone is free to use a form to do a request. I've had PM's with a list of 10 files or more from all over the posted list for me to collect and upload. In itself not a problem but if that request contains no more that 'I really need this' from a new member with zero posts than I help others first.


so for good order here's my checklist:
existing active member: good points
existing active member in trouble: max points
new member but introduced and active: points
new member, few posts but explains the who and the why: more points
need I continue?

got the files? If they helped, did you get your boat or problem solved, or even a simple confirmation of receipt: that's what I appreciate from fellow Carver forum users.

Sounds negative perhaps, but that is not why I write this. I've had really kind PM's and great replies. I hope to see those new or upgrading boaters on this forum soon. It's the people here who keep the forum alive so post your projects, issues, expereinces and so on!

Good day.

Could I get a copy of the manual for 1994 and 1995 390 CPMY? I am trying to ascertain the difference between the 1994 and 1995. Thank you

Phrancus,
Awesome list and thank you for scraping all the files you could off the now defunct Carver website. Short of what is listed here, there is darn little on the internet in the way of documentation on these so thank you. I downloaded an owners manual off of ManualZZ but looks as if it is for a 23 foot version so not exactly applicable. If you have time and could send the following three documents from your list, it would be appreciated. No hurry as I don't take possession of the boat till mid-June but would be great to have these as reference if you are amenable. I believe the boat I am getting is a Santego 2757 Double Cabin with twin Mercuiser stern drives.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can be.

Tony you're welcome

Fly, here you go: https://we.tl/t-RZrCkfdZfO

All: please send a PM as I don't check this thread often.

Also to all: it helps me greatly if you copy/paste the file line completely from the list. It saves me going through directories finding your file.

So instead of 'my '87 Carver Santego' please like this:

Cheers and happy boating!

Vessel Info: New owner of 1984 Riviera 2807, purchased October 2021. Pre-purchase survey found the boat to be very solid structurally and mechanically. The electronics were expensive when new (1994) but are now dated. The original instruments work, except for the engine synchronizer. The twin Pleasurecraft Marine 351W Ford engines and Velvet Drives are in top shape. The boat is in storage for the winter. In Spring 2022, I will update the electronics, install a larger swim platform and begin making cosmetic improvements, such as refinishing all the teak brightwork, and I might replace the analog gauges, etc. Now we have the winter to decide on a name! She will be moored at Bayview marine in Portland, ON.

This is an invaluable resource! I'm new having bought my '94 2807 last fall, but it needs a fair amount of sorting out. I'm trying to restore the instrument panel wiring using a 3207 manual but it's not much help. Having the right documents would be very much appreciated!

In the meantime, I installed a 3' swim platform fabricated from aluminum and it's perfect. I posted photos before installation but will add one of it installed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Chris, please start a project thread, it's great to follow such developments. Mine is from 1992 and I'm looking at a wiring mess as well.

for the documentation please send me a PM with what you want as such:
So instead of 'my '87 Carver Santego' please like this:

@All: I just deleted 8 mails that were still in my outbox to 0 posts, single visit dates people who asked for documentation on certain vessels.

Therefore: as of now I will look up and send docs only for members with some posts that show a serious interest.

That said: I'm glad to see that people are helped with the materials we 'salvaged' and I would like to set up something to collect more from the members here. Not sure yet how technically.

I bought a factory parts manual for my 1995 Carver 325 Aft Cabin (2808) on e-bay. Apparently this forum doesn't like .pdf file extensions, but you can download it here if it accepts html links: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aryd6gmqdLHCjKgkJpa ... Q?e=QnGatD

Very kind of you to share this document! I will add it to the archive.

93 95 96 97 are in our list but nevertheless: sometimes files are incomplete so any addition will help to complete as much as we can.

If you'd like the other years please let me know.
