Went to visit my half brother yesterday and apparently he recntly got hisself a mid 80s chrix crafft but it came with zero documentation, so I joined him trying to figure things out but I feel it'd be a whole lot easier with an actual owner's manual or at least a wiring diagram and systems layout, we checked a few online sources and the usual boat manual sites, but no luck for this specific model. If anyone has a PDF, a scanned copy, or even a lead on where to find one, we'd really appreciate it.
 
@Lemuel ter idk which specific models you mean? but I've seen a few of 1980s chris craft manuals on ebay. you can also go to the chris craft official website. it's the best resource for vintage ChrisCraft info.
it needs a membership to access fully, but their Historic Archive is a treasure trove. you can find sales brochures, specifications, operator booklets, and repair manuals for engines, transmissions, and other systems
 
I'd reach out to customer support considering it's not a particularly recent model.

btw, I have to ask, when you say zero documentation, you mean no user manual and stuff like that, but you have the paperwork for it i suppose?
