Hello,
I am new to the boating world and recently obtained a 1973 Larson Volero Sport 187 that was garage kept and only has about 100 hours on the engine. It has not been run in over 8 years so most of the rubber hoses and stuff are dry rotted and things are not moving like they should. I am trying to get the engine up and running so that I can know if totally redoing this boat is worth the time and effort. I am able to diagnosis and fix almost any small engine issues aka lawnmowers and am very handy with tools. I am probably not going to use a lot of the correct words so if I offend it is not my intention. I am looking for a place where I can download or buy the engine books and the owners manuals. I also, want to know if they make those books like auto-mechanics use that show how to fix or replace everything involving this boat and/or engine. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
