Where are you storing the boat?

Not the owners manual. The service manual for the Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI

Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find a shop/service manual for my 2001 226. It has 5.7 VP GXI DP. Been a while since I’ve been on. ACL surgery about a week ago so I am hoping I can get back on my feet soon enough to finish out my first season with the boat. Thanks! I am willing ...

Well took the 01 226 out for the maiden voyage today. Ran great and back home safe. However, about 3 hours into my day the factory extended swim platform came off.
