I don't know carver, but generic info is available.
a) is it a toggle or is it a breaker?
b) Many breakers and toggle sw's have a "threaded tube" on the switch/breaker body. This tube extends through the panel and is secured by a nut. Wires are usually connected with a spade lug type connector, though screw attachments do occur.
c) there are other methods.
More info will likely get more/better answers.
Questions occur such as:
Which panel?
Breaker or Switch?
What do you see when you look at it? ie: describe what you see.
Does the sw have a "boot" or is it an exposed paddle.
We are all waiting to help!

If it's not secured in place with a nut, look for a small screw on each side of the toggle. Removing these 2 screws will release the breaker and you can lift it out from the back after disconnecting the wires. Keep the screws, sometimes the replacement breakers don't come with them.
If you pose your question on the Carver forum, you will get Carver specific feedback.

My Carver switches are the type described as having a tube with a round nut on the front panel look at the pictures in the BF link for toggle switches. You will have to remove the panel to get to the wires and the switch may also be held in place by buss bars attached to the switch. Spade type wire connections are likely on one or both terminals. The switches are probably made by Carlin and some are not easy to find though others are. Get the part number off the switch. If it is Cole Hersee brand boat fix may have it here:

If Carlin brand look here but I don’t know who sells small quantities
Turn off all power before opening the panel.
