Many marine dealers do not carry a full inventory of re- placement propellers . a spare set allows your vacation or cruise to continue in the event that the primary set of props are damaged.
The sanitation system requires ongoing maintenance to avoid problems. see section 4 for sanitation system schematics and layout. • Always use sanitation system deodorizer. use the brand recommended by your Carver dealer. • The sanitation system on the yacht is not like the toilet and sewer in a home.
Carver recommends hiring a professional to perform the winterization of the yacht. Carver also recommends storing the yacht in a dry, out-of-water, storage. some winterizing procedures can be performed only, with the yacht is out of the water. dry storage also provides the opportunity to thoroughly inspect the hull and underwater components for maintenance needs.
