Boats do not have manuals. They have a generic brochure indicating the pointy end is forward, and the end with the propeller is aft, a list of dealers and that is about it. They will come with the manual for the motor
Even my brand new 2011 Islander didn't have a manual. Just the generic mentioned above and the books for the engine and drive.
I got a manual for the trailer though!
