Carver Owners Forum

We have a 2000 53 Carver Voyager. The rudder indicator is off by one mark. I can’t find anyway to adjust the rudder unit. Has anyone had this issue and corrected it? Thanks in advance.

Center the rudders and then realign the sensing unit should get it may need to loosen its mount

There is an adjustment screw on the rudder sender connection consisting of a threaded tube with a threaded rod and lock nut. Loosen the locknut and adjust accordingly.

Thank you both! Giving it a try first thing in the morning....

I agree with the guys. This is best done with a buddy at the helm so they can monitor the gauge while you make your adjustment and let you know when to stop. Way easier than going up and down yourself after each adjustment. Depending on the make and model of sender, you may or may not have contacts on top of the unit where the wiring is connected. If you do have terminals there, make sure you have clean, tight, secure connections before making any adjustments.
