Anyone know where I can find an owners manual with wiring schematics for a 1990 1800sl? Picked up this boat for cheap and looking to restore. Engine is a aq151 Volvo penta which I have the service manual. However, I really need wiring schematics as the wiring under the dash and in the battery compartment is a bonified rats nest!

Wiring under the dash should be what's in the aq151 manual

If your talking about navigation lights, accessories and other then that's all generic and probably not going to find it

Ah, Thank you very much. I found the schematics in the aq151 service manual. Intuitively I thought it would be part of the chaparral 1800sl manual but I guess it makes sense to have the gauges part of the engine description. Is there anything useful in the owners manual? If so, do you know where I can find it? Chaparral's website has a super generic download of boats from 87 - 1991. Thanks again!

How to operate the boat....ie, don't hit stuff, don't fill with engine running/people onboard, CO warning, rules of navigation. That's generally what's in the owner's manual.

Rare to find something of use in them. I had to download ALL of my accessory manuals for my Chap - Fish Finder, Radio, etc.
