Hello
Bought a boat on Craigslist this week.
2001 Maxum 1800SR. Purchased for 5K.
Been looking for a small bowrider for the wife and I.
Only has a 3.0 (197 hrs) but should be enough for cruising the lakes.
Almost brand new interior.
I spent hours reading posts on iboats and learning about buying a used boat.
This helped me a lot. Thanks to everyone who posts.

Boat was stored inside and came with all the maintenance and repair receipts, but no owners manual or repair manual.
I have downloaded a few from iboats but not sure if there the right ones.
Mercruiser 3.0 SN 0M036691
Alpha one drive ..OL929971
I downloaded #26 for the engine and 14 for the drive. Is this correct.
Should i spend the money and buy a owners manual?
Thanks for the help....my boat pix is too large a file to post. I will try and post one later.

Re: New boat Information

#14 is correct for the drive, and owners manuals are useless. I assume you already know how to stick the key in and which hole to pour the gas in.

Congrats on your purchase.

Re: New boat Information

And you are correct using SERVICE MANUAL #26 GM 4 CYL 181 CID.:)
