Your  Carver  Dealership  is  staffed  with  knowledgeable

professionals  who  are  familiar  with  your  boat  and  are

capable  of providing  the  highest  level  of service.  The

Carver  Dealership  service  personnel  will  communicate

with the Carver Boat Corporation to ensure that you

receive  fast  and  satisfactory  solutions  to any  problem

that  may  arise.

A  "Second  Owner  Registration"  card  is  located  in  the

 of this  guide.  The  purchaser  of a  previously-

owned  Carver  boat  should  complete  this  card  and  mail

it as soon as taking title to the boat.

Registration  of a  previously-owned  Carver  boat  does not

extend  or  in  any  way  modify  the  boat's  original  limited

warranty.  However,  purchasers  of a  previously-owned

Carver boat should register the boat so that, if it is ever

necessary, Carver can contact you.

The  U.S.  Coast  Guard  has  established  an  identifica-

tion  system  which  assigns  a  unique  hull  identification

number  (HIN)  to  each  boat.  The  HIN  consists  of 12

alphanumeric  characters  which  provide  coded  infor-

mation  about  the  boat. 

When  contacting  your  Carver  Dealer  for  parts  or

service,  provide  them  with  your  boat’s  HIN.
