I've looked on line and in this forum to find where I can get an owners manual and a shop manual for a 1986 Kingfisher 16HPV bass boat that I am trying to restore.  All I really need to know is where all the wiring and gages go.  If anyone could give some advice it will be appreciate.  

I seriously doubt there was such a thing when it was new, much less now. I've probably dealt with a100 used boats over the years (since 1965) and I've never seen one that came manuals.  The wiring should be done by someone knowledgeable, and they will just run them to and from where they need to go.  Hopefully in a professional, neat looking way.
