AG,
[Speculates that other websites oriented toward Boston Whaler boats might have this information.]

I have converted the owner's manuals for Boston Whaler classic boats to an on-line version and they are freely available in the REFERENCE section.
As far as I know, if there are other on-line versions of manuals they probably came from material originally prepared by Boston Whaler, and you can probably very likely get that material directly from Boston Whaler. I suggest you give them a call and ask for customer service.
See:
http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/manual9-17/
http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/manual18-25/
These are direct links to the owner's manuals.
If you want to locate other resources on the internet, try using GOOGLE.COM to help you search. For example:

Jimh,
I did not speculate that other websites oriented toward Boston Whaler boats might have this information. I pointed AG to a specific web site that did have the information that he requested. The specific web site in question is not in competition with this site but has a different focus and thus complements your efforts. Many people routinely visit both sites. The other site's members routinely point to features of continuouswave without their posts being edited.

I much prefer links that actually point to information as opposed to advice that the information might be found somewhere else. There is a general assumption--at least among the intellectually curious--that new information might be found in many places, and no one place has a lock on all the good information.
So to tell someone that they need to go to another website and browse around until they find the information is, to me, just about worthless advice. You could offer this advice in reply to every inquiry ever posted here, if you like.
If another website has the sought after resource available, then just give a link directly to the information. There are many, many, such links given here all the time.
If there is no direct link given to a resource, then I consider it to be just speculation that you could find the information elsewhere. If you are certain, give the URI.
If other websites choose to shield their content so that it cannot be effectively searched then that is a decision they have made and I do not see the role of CONTINUOUSWAVE to be to provide a conduit to that information in the form of random referrals to it. If other websites really want to collect and share information they ought to give some consideration to how people will find it.
CONTINUOUSWAVE has been on-line since 1994 collecting information on the various topic areas of interest, and all of this information is completely available to internet searchers, both robotic and human, and all of the information is very well indexed by both our local search engine and by robotic engines like GOOGLE and YAHOO.
I do not find that there is any reason to change my fundamental assumption that there is little point in trying to collect lists or indexes to information that is held elsewhere, and particularly so when the website holding the information has adopted a policy of obscuring access to it for search techniques which otherwise would allow it to be easily found. It is not my job to overcome that handicap which other websites have imposed on themselves, so, if you will please understand, I have chosen to not take on that mission. If you would like to take on that mission I suggest you begin your own website and immediately start a compilation to all the information to be found on other websites which are not well indexed by GOOGLE and others. It will be a big job, and you could serve humanity nicely by doing it.
