I am looking for an owners manual for a 25' oday sail boat...I just bought a 1985 sailboat
John,
Ed K. is right. O'Day didn't build a 25 in 1985. Check the serial number on the outside transom of your boat. The first three letters, XDY stands for O'Day. The next letter should be "G" if it's a 25, "T" if it's a 23, or "M" if it's a 26. The next four numbers are the serial numbers, and after that there might be an "M" and two more numbers which stand for "Model Year. The last two numbers will signify the year. After the year, there will be a letter which stands for the month that the boat was built, January being the letter A. This format is important in being able to get the right owner's manual.
