Default 1978 Century Raven

I just 'inherited' my father-in-laws' Century Raven, which he believes is either a 1977 or 1978.

I dug through it and got all the lights and such working, gauges etc. There are a couple problems... the aft seats are missing, and the trim doesnt work.

Does anyone know of a photograph of what the seats looked like originally?

Also, regarding the trim, the motor will run, but only in one direction. I suspect one of the solenoids is not making contact (it clicks, but doesnt actuate the motor).

Any other Raven owners frequent this forum?

Default Re: 1978 Century Raven

Hrm, this Century Raven looks a lot like what I have. Maybe I also have a Raven? All I know is the registration on the boat said '1980 Century 190' when I got it.

If I do indeed have a Raven, then maybe some pics of my boat will help?





More pics available from the link in my sig.
