Much Information Needed - O'Day 23

[Jesse Murphy]

I just acquired a 72 O'Day 23 Pop Top. It is an interesting boat but I have very little information about it. I have figured out how the pop top works, but not the side curtains (snaps have been removed and rods are in the boat. Where is the fresh water tank? How do I install electrics (no running lights or other electrical at all. I also need a rigging diagram. What depth does it take to launch? Any and all information will be appreciated. Thank you.

launching oday 23

I can launch at any ramp that IO's can!Can't say how deep the water is at any of the places i've used maybe 4 feet?As far as lights pick out what you need to be llegal and a basic wireing diagram . west marine probable has what you need. Don't forget a switch panel with fuses or breakers.fair winds and smooth seas Harley
