This owner's manual is specifically from the 2004 model year for the Carver 466 Motor Yacht. In most cases, Carver made very few changes to the owner's manual content across adjacent production years — especially for models like the 466 that saw minimal structural or equipment changes during their production run (early 2000s to around 2006). So while we can’t 100% guarantee every detail will be identical to the 2002 model, much of the operational guidance, safety info, system overviews, and onboard equipment instructions should still apply.
The main differences between model years — if any — would typically relate to optional equipment or specific engine packages, rather than the vessel layout or core systems. If your 2002 model shares the same general configuration and propulsion setup as the 2004 version, this manual should still be a useful reference. Just keep in mind that for anything highly specific (like updated electronics, wiring schematics, or configuration sheets), a year-matched manual would always be best when available.
If you'd like to double-check, we recommend confirming your HIN (Hull Identification Number) and comparing it to a 2004 model. If the layout and onboard equipment look similar, this manual will still serve you well for most operational needs.
