1979 Penn Yan 26 foot

[Lifeontheweb]

Hi all. I love my Penn Yan but having a hard time finding a service manual and some rare parts like the dash switch labels. Who can offer some advice??

Boat or I/O service manual?

Boat manual likely never existed.

Motor.& outdrive manuals are probably available.

Switch labels are like a craft/DIY project or retro fit switches w labeled bezels.

You could probably get an engraving place to make you small plaques for under/over each switch, or 1 long 1 under them all.

I know a guy that makes 1 offs for a boating group, dont think he does random non-members. Rick etched and painted red on this switch plate.

Yes, more of a motor/outdrive manual.
I like the idea of having someone engrave plaques.
Mine are so worn that I need help identifying what they say exactly. I know what most do but not all. Thanks in advance.

They sell label makers for under 30.00 I think. They work great, you can change the size of the letters and they adhere decently.

Yes but I need to know what they say first.

Uhh , you hit the switch and see what goes on , you should/may have , wipers , blower , bilge pump , raw/fresh water pump , lights [ cockpit, spreader, underwater , running and anchor ] and a few others depending on who has tinkered with the switches. Not rocket science.
