Columbia 26 Maui owners manual

[overshield]

Hi, I recently bought a 1974 Columbia 26 mkii. I was wondering if anyone had a owners manual that they could share with me? I see that it is for sale but figured I would see if I could get it here. Also any plans of it as well would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to the SBO forum. I do not recall a. Maui version of the owners manual.

The Columbia 26 is a boat last built in the 60’s I found this link to a manual (pricey)

Columbia built the 26MkII into the 70's. I owned a 1973 one.

I can't imagine there is anything in the owner's manual that is relevant to the boat today. I can't remember if I had a manual, but if so, I never used it for any information.

Yeah I mainly need the wiring schematics that are in the manual. And I would also like to have the manual for other reference reasons as well.

The wiring was rather simple as there weren't a lot of systems on the boat. One problem is the wires for the lights and possible a couple other things were run inside the liner and are impossible to get out or pull new ones through. I think they ran the wires along the cabin/deck, then glued in the liner and the wires are now permanent.

The best advice I can give about electrical on that boat is to just redo it all and run wires externally through conduits. No need for a schematic, as you will make your own.
