Owners Manual for my 282 Captiva Cuddy

[282 Catalina cuddy]

Where is the best place to pick up an owners manual for my 282 Captiva Cuddy? The Rinker web site only had a very generic download. Does anyone know of internet sites with manuals?

Thanks Greg

You might be looking for a "Captiva" 282 cc Manual.   Never made a Catalina cuddy.     But, if you want a Captiva owners manual.  Call Rinker and ask for Cindy Scott in Parts.  I know they have some,  the manuals are not unique to each model though.  Allan

The manuals are far too generic to have any value.  While I love my 282, this was one of my disappointments moving from Searay to Rinker.  Searay manuals included a parts manual and owners manual, with all kinds of model specific info.  They even had wiring diagrams for the electrical.

what kind of information are you looking for?  I have very indepth knowledge of the 282's.  Did you know their are actually 2 completly different hull design's for the 282,  The original 282 hull had 3 made,  I personally know where 2 are but have lost track of the 3rd.  All remaining hull's are basically the same hull mold as a 272.  These are great boats,  very strong, perfect day boats.   Allan

Alswagg, do you happen to have a wiring diagram for a 2003 282 Bowrider?  I'd love to have that when I'm working on or repairing electrical issues, modifying the stereo, etc.
