Sun Runner 27.5 manuals needed!

[Rodger Shartle]

HELP! 76 YO Senior desperately needs copy of OWNER'S MANUAL with (hopefully) wiring diagram for my 1987 Sun Runner 27.7 or similar size and year boat. My LOA around 31' swim step to bow pulpit, with one Volvo Penta AQ271A V-8. Or in the alternative, need good pix of instrument panel with good view of what all switches/gauges are for. My panel seriously faded (see pix) and in need of restoration.

welcome aboard.

The wiring diagram was most likely never published or even documented by Sun Runner. Most of the wiring was done with a sketch back then and the in-house prototype team, then sent out to a harness house to copy. boats generally do not get manuals. back in the 80's they received a safety brochure

the wiring diagram for the AQ271 and engine related wiring is in the VP service manuals for the motor and the 290DP drive.

follow the wiring colors. they are standardized by ABCY. the wiring colors are in the stickies in the electrical forum.
