1985 Kayot 28' pontoon boat w/MerCruiser 120hp sterndrive

[rlfinch33]

Hello boating world....
first time pontoon owner, first time MerCruiser owner here. (But an ENTHUSIASTIC first timer!)
hoping somewhere out there is an owner's manual for this boat and a service manual for the motor. I've got more numbers for the motor than for the boat. but i have absolutely ZERO instructional/informational paperwork on any of it at the moment, so anything you've got will be greatly appreciated. i think i've got a pretty awesome boat here....but it hasn't been near a body of water in over a year. so it just needs a little love. can't wait to hear what you got. thanks so much in advance.

You may not have noticed, but there is an entire forum devoted to MerCruiser stern drives: Click here

And serial numbers are handy to have, but model numbers are really what you are after.

Other than one or two boat brands (out of many thousands), boats generally do not have manuals

The motor/drive will have both operator manuals as well as repair manuals

As stated, not going to find a manual for the boat itself, never had one to get.

The engine and outdrive issues can be handles here on iboats.

I build new pontoons and they don't come with a manual, just the paper for the stereo ect.

Boat companies are far too small to absorb the expense of a manual.
