Boat Forum / Building / April 2005

Boat owners manual's , at least the few that I have seen on smaller boats
like yours, don't amount to much. I should not waste too much time looking
for one. If both of you are new to boating, then first try to get operating
an maintenance info on the propulsion system. For example, if it has a
Mercruiser inboard/outboard unit you can find repair manuals from publishers
like Cylimer's or other. Usually these repair  manuals will tell you about
maintenance as well as repairing. Also more information can be obtained on
line by logging on the units manufacturer , like Mercury Marine, web site
too. If it is a Volvo, OMC or other, then same thing. Before you start
looking, first find out what series it is, you need to know what hp. and
which outdrive unit. For example if it is a Mercruiser, if might be a Alpha
I or Bravo One, Bravo Two , ect.
