Looking for a Catalina 30 Manual

[Ron Allen]

I have a 1989 Catalina 30 #5528 and am looking for an owners manual.Just purchased the boat and am unsure about some of the connections for the mast and roller set up.Thanks, Ron

Ron,m have you tried Google? Catalina 30 owners manual shows a lot of hits.

 

[Ron Allen]

Yes ,thanks Im a member but the manual posted is for an older version of the boat.

Here is the C 30 Manual

Funny I have never actually seen or found this manual online until now.
It should be on the Catalina 30 Website but it isn't. Its rather brief being only
about 13 pages, but has some valuable info in it for the beginner. It also mentions a general handbook for the C 30, which I've also never seen before. The International C 30 website only has the parts manual.

 

[Stu Jackson]

OK, OK, if you want a C30 manual for a boat that's NOT a C30 but about as close as you can get, try this:

http://www.c34.org/manuals/1988/1988-C34-Owners.pdf

Almost everything, including the basic electrical, is the same, except for location(s).

Did you check Catalinadirect.com?

we have one........... but

ok ok, I know I said I would scan and offer it, but its a lot to scan and I am a busy girl..

We have the manual and maybe I need to put it up to the highest bidder! (ours is an 88 c30.)
I promise to do it within the next 6 months, but that's the best I can promise.

If anyone has a specific question I would be willing to scan just those pages until I get to the entire project.

@LuzSD. I have the 1990 C30 manual, you're right that would be a bunch of scanning. If you get a specific question, snap a picture and email it.

I also have the manual for a 1990 and scanned it to PDF. but it is a large file and cannot be emailed. Close to a 100gb. I'll see if there is a way to reduce it or break it up in smaller sections.

 

[Stu Jackson]

It'd be helpful if Ron, the OP, came back and answered the questions those of you who are kindly offering raised. What can be so different in an 88 boat than others?

Just got back to where I can reply.Thank you for the manual.It seems close to my boat.Best wishes Ron

 

[Ron Allen]

Just got back to reply.Thanks for the manual.I printed it out and it seems that there is not much difference in the 34 to the 30.Thanks Again Ron

 

[Ron Allen]

Hi is it all on 1 file?You can use winzip to reduce it to a more manageable size.Thanks for your help.... Ron

 

[Ron Allen]

Re: we have one........... but

Thanks for the help.My problem is the rigging.The boat mover took all my lines off and I do not have pics of the lines or the way the Hood fureler attaches to the front stay.Thanks again Ron

 

[dj2210]

I now have the document in 3 parts at around 7gb each which I can email if you want. It is pdf. Just send me a PM

 

[Ron Allen]

Thanks I just sent you a PM.......Ron

Doug, I wonder if your pdf scan of the full owners manual can be uploaded to the International Catalina 30 website, as it would be a great document for C 30 owners to have, & would answer a lot of questions that newbies have about their boats.

Done! Didnt realize I could upload
