looking for owners manual

[ameister]

I recently purchased a 2000 Bayliner Trophy model 1703. The owner had it in storage for several years,it looks almost new. I would like to have an owners manual for it. He said a divorce was involved,and "she" probably threw it away along with a lot of other things.

Boats really do not have owner's manuals but manuals for the engine/powerplant. I seriously doubt you will find one and when/if you do it will have USCG suggestions and very little information.

Welcome to iboats!

What powers your Bayliner? That's the important manual.

Correct, boats aren't like cars, an average run for a car is 200,000-500,000 uniots where your baot had maybe 500-1000 units ran that year so it isn't cost effective to make a manual.

Mostly a new boat comes with the owners manual for the stereo ect and a ton of warning notices.

From the baylienr site... 2000 seems to come up with 2002 for some reason, but maybe you can find one close enough...

Re: looking for owners manual

too bad its a bayliner...my GF has a huge package she got with her boat and trailer from the dealer..

but all the boat stuff was generic , basic stuff..
not specific for repairing your boat.

she had a tree fall and break one side of the windshield.. just the top bar of aluminum frame was damaged, and the glass shattered...

talk about a head ache asking around at the dealers if the part is available..

what a run around..looked on line for days...

finally found a replacement section, for a decent price.

but i just striaghtened the frame piece and will have a local glass shop make the glass


but all the normal"bayliner " paths were dead ends...

imagine all the hardware a boat has, they should have an easier path to buy replacement stuff...

not bayliner!!

not bayliner!!

VERY few boat manufacturers have any kind of parts support for their models after a few years.

The Bayliner Trophy models have a seperate website. Here is where you can download the owners manuals.
