    You can find out more online than an owners manual they are pretty generic

    Rather than answer each of the posts, I thought I could have a new thread or sticky if the moderator can do that. This is meant for those new to boating !

    When you buy a boat, new or used, there generally isn't ONE all-inclusive manual. There will be several booklets, one for the boat, one for the motor, one for the trailer. They are all made by seperate manufacturers. In addition, if you are lucky, there will be paperwork on boat systems such as radio, steering, controls, canvas & vinyl. My Godfrey dealer had all of that for me in a nice canvas bag, as the boat was new. It may be easier to research on the internet, or contact specific manufacturers. If you do post on here, please list the brand names, sizes, and hp.

    We have no Moderator so we can't sticky I'm a Moderator on The Rinker Owners Club Forum but Godfrey doesn't doesn't give much power tp do things I'll get hold of Jeff who took over when Capn' Steve left the company and see what we can do.

    Would some kind person copy his or her electrical schematic and what ever owners manual they might have and post them so us never had ones could read them. I have downloaded my Honda manual for the 40HP (elementary if you have Web) and will gladly sent it to anyone via their e-mail. I do not care what your boat is.....it would help to see and at least compare to what boat one has.

    I have had a bunch of boats over the years, mostly new with paperwork. Never got an overall wiring diagram. Maybe the manufacturer provides them to the service techs at the Boat Stores. I have gotten refrigerator, helm, radio, built in battery charger, etc. wiring diagrams, but NOT the actual boat.

    I've had boats before, the last one was a Stingray. They have a brilliant website where you can find any part for your actual boat or motor based on their individual serial numbers, including manuals. I now have a Sweetwater 1780RE pontoon (2006)which needs a bit of love and care and would like to know is there a similar system within the Godfrey Marine website?

    Forgot to ask a question. What is the flip switch on the console labelled AERATOR  supposed to do?

    Sound like a live well fill. The spray usually has a lot of air bubbles and serves to both fill and aerates water in the live well. Keeps bait and or fish alive. I actually have two live wells on my Sweetwater one  forward and one aft.
