Hi guy's I'm new and from Ontario Canada...I'm not only to this forum, but to having my own boat. (for a change lol)
The boat is basically in good shape. I need to do some work on the interior, carpet, couple rips in the seats, some wiring, which leads me to my problem. I have no documentation on the boat Anyone have a link or some place where I could get some? I found a service manual for the motor on eBay (havent bought it yet though). I have to replace the windshield wiper motor and arm plus wire it. Also there seems to be a couple shorts some where between the motor and the dash. I'd like to replace the old style fuse panel to an updated one.
Anyone out there that can help out getting some diagrams or book or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve. Welcome to iboats. Nice boat you got yourself. There are a couple running around the north end of Lake Simcoe. I sent you a PM for my contact at Doral. I'm not sure if they are back to work yet but you can give it a try. I'm not sure where in Ontario you are, but Boatmax is the largest Doral dealer around here. They may be able to help as well.

Thanks for the warm greeting.
I've updated my bio, so you can see I'm in Bowmanville :) I'm not a newbie to boats, been around them almost all my life. But have never owned one myself. I just got in them and drove, hence I have no idea about working on them. No vocabulary on what parts are called. A couple books should fix that, I hope lol. BTW. r.j.dawd you have a sweet ride there. And your signature LMAO!!!!
I hope you dont mind if I pic your brain now and then :)



Thanks
Steve
