Anyone know where I can obtain a 1983 American Skier owners manual?  Thanks in advance for any help.

There really wasn't a "true" owners manual available back then. (common in the ski boat business back then) It comprised of a notebook filled with operators instructions from various vendors. The more important one was the engine manual. I have one each of the Commander, PCM & Indmar (not for sale) that I use to help others with as questions arise.

Not fair Ron! We should see if those companies have copies for sale or permissions to copy the ones you have. 

Mine is simple, or just about as simple as a car engine anyway and I've been through it...... so I think I'm good without one. But I can see where others might want them.

Me...  ill just keep asking you

I have the original Ford engine manual that came with my boat too.

I have digital, high resolution PDF engine manual (Ford Commander 351), parts manual and same for the Velvet drive that came with my '82 Skier 18. I'd gladly get it to the webmaster and maybe he can post it or make it available for download.

Phil, these are high resolution scans, and as such, are pretty big files. The Commander manual for sure is 35 to 40 megs. I'll put 'em up on dropbox and get you access to that so you can download them.

That would be great to be able to download a manual.  Thanks so much for your help

[phil]

Yes, he's sent them over. I'll try and get them setup tonight.

The files are now in the "media" "technical documents" section of the site. Patience with the download as they are large files and it will take some time due to the upload speed of this servers internet connection.

Thanks guys for your help.  I was able to download the parts manual but service manual after download read in adobe x - insufficient data & would not open.  Anyone else have this problem.

Try again, I think the file must have been corrupt. I re-uploaded the service manual.

I downloaded the Commander manual, and it opened fine.
