New Aristocraft owner

[UtBuck]

Just got a 70 19 footer, and it needs some work but seems I got a good deal on it. $400
Someone cut a bunch of the wires for the lights and they don't work. the bow light is missing. and the rollers (or whatever fits in the track for the hard top are missing. Pretty clean but the jump seats are missing also. Anyone have a owners manual that they can copy and send me or know where I can get one.
I have never owned a inboard/outboard so I need to know how to operate it properly.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Re: New Aristocraft owner

congrats UtBuck on your new to you arisotcraft.
i don't know if there's a owners manual available or not. don't even know if they came with one. to find that question out ya should give aristocraft a call. they will know... www.aristocraftboats.com. there is also some fiberglass brochures at that link that may have a pic of your boat.

for the wiring of the boat itself. you'll probably not find anything unless aristocraft knows about something. there are some generic wiring diagrams in the elec. section of the iboats forum. http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=23 at the very top of the page. the stickys. also if it's a mercruiser, you can get the oem service manual from the adults only sticky at the top of the i/o fourm. http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=21. for a 70 you'll want s/m #1. if an omc or other. there may be something there for you maint. book wise and there may not be. you'll have to look.

since there's only 2 pages of aristocraft threads. ya may look through them and see if someone ain't got a pic of your bow light. cederjunki posted up a few pics of his '70 nineteen. i know there was a pic of his bow light there. kinda distant if i remember right though. but may give ya an idea what ya need. also any light can work. most everything about an i/o boat that's not the boat, which is aristocraft or the engine, which would be a mercruiser in my case. but everything else will be aftermarket. ie. perko as an example.

good luck with her and any questions, just ask. and don't forget the oem is still available for inquiry and some parts for our boats. his number is in the aristocraft link.
