Hello, we just purchased a 2003 Carver 53' voyager in Ft. Lauderdale. Someone removed the search light from the bow rail but the wires are still there and the controllers at both stations are there. Does anyone know the original light manufacturer and what could I just plug into the wire harness? Rick
My windshield wiper motors are bad and need to be replaced. Does any body know how to easily access these motors? We don't see an easy way to remove them.
Also, does anyone know where to get replacement cushions for fly bridge from original makers?

Welcome aboard. Congrats on your new acquisition. A picture of the controller would help identify the brand. Can you post a picture?

Congrats on the new boat. That's the same make and model we're hoping to buy in the semi-near future. What's the transom name on her?

Welcome to the group!
I have replaced 2 of the wiper motors in my 506. My install was quite easy as I had a doghouse to remove which allowed me to crawl under the dash. Having looked at the 53/57 Voyageurs prior to buying my 506, I believe on yours access is gained from the ceiling in the master stateroom.
With regards to the searchlight, I had the identical problem with my previous boat, a Silverton 42C. I ended up using the existing power wire and circuit and connecting a wireless GoLight with the wireless hand controller. Worked amazing and was a 5 minute retrofit.

Ah, you got "Pure Passion." Okay, I've crossed it off my list.
Good luck with restoring those items.
