Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
- We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
- Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
- The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
- Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
- For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
- Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
- Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
- Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.

Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

PT38 Sedan Owners Manual
OK, now that the ice has been broken I'd like to jump on the band wagon.* I'm looking for the manual for a '83 PT38 Trawler, sedan model built by Cheer Men Marine.* Any & all help locating the manual will be appreciated.
I have part of a manual for the aft cabin model and will*share that material with those who need it.

I agree with ED, I would love an owners manual for a PT38 Sedan by the same builder.

Is there such a thing as an owner's manual for a boat? Maybe for a new build and you insist on all drawings, etc. For my 2003 boat I have the "stuff" on the bolts ins like toilets, stove, engines, genset etc. But an owner's manual per se like on a car, never seen one. Even the owner's manual on a new Searay is just the info on the bolt in stuff. On two new Searays I had, the best "owner's manual" were the magazine articles with all the dimensions, tank sizes weights etc.
Sure.* While our boat has had several previous owners all of them did a great job of retaining all the manuals for the boat.* So we have a complete, original owners manual, engine, engine parts, and engine service manuals, and so on.* The original GB owners manual has basic drawings (no dimensions, though), full specifications including the size, type, and pitch of the factory-fitted props, operating instructions for the basic systems on the boat, electrical and fuel schematics for the single and twin engine versions, and so on.* All nicely bound.
The only piece of equipment that did not have a manual when we bought the boat was the Onan generator.* But someone on the GB forum sent me one.
Most GB-related manuals--- engines, transmissions, the boats themselves, and so forth are also available on the GB owners site.* Not every boat model manual is there--- only the ones that owners have made PDFs from and posted.

Marin - You and I are saying the same thing - there are manuals for the bolt ins, which includes engines and gensets. On my vessel, there is a*manual for at least 50 different bolt ins, nicely set up by the broker who built the boat on spec.

Ed kindly sent me copies of what he had.* I did an OCR conversion to Word and back to PDF which cleaned it up and greatly reduced the file size.* There are sections missing (which I would like to add if anyone has them) but, for now, you can find the Cheer Men Marine PT-38 Sundeck and PT-42 Sundeck with Cockpit Owners Guide at the following link...*
