the thing that annoys me with just about any boat

Post by tomcat rio »

..no owners manual with locations of pumps, valves, etc. and no wiring schematics...
i really get torqued off when i come acress an inline fuze and have no idea what its for till i trace the wire to whatever system is using it.
...
albin is just as guilty of this as any other manufacturer.

Yep...as you read around the forums you'll see that most of us have made similar comments. I did manage to get a number schematics of the systems on my 99 from my local Albin Dealer.

I have the following:

* Steering system
* pump systems, (bilge, raw water, livewell )
* freshwater,
* waste water,
* air conditiioning system,
* thru hull and sea cock locations,
* grey water drainage system,
* hot and cold water system,
* battery charging layout,
* bonding system,
* bowthruster set up,
* 12volt detail ( not too detailed however ),
* Fuel System Detail,
* Drive Train Detail,
* lifting locations detail
* hull to joint detail
* and the last drawing is of the bulkheads/hull/skeg with measurements.

These are all for a 1999 and they are several times copied but if any of these would help anyone I'd be glad to make copies and send them out.
I did find out that on at least the 1999 they did remove the coring at the thru hulls and fill them in with solid glass, according to the spec sheet.

Chief, I'd REALLY like to get copies of those. I realize things probably changed between my 97 and your 99 but it would at least give me a strong starting point, I don't have any of the drawings you listed.

I'd be more than happy to reimburse you for the cost of copying and mailing!

You can send me your e mail address at

I'll send them as a .zip file so you'll have to unzip them.
