Default Boat Manual, Can a few sizes fit all?

My 1990 MaXum manual failed to advise specifically to drain the fresh
water heater for winterization. I got to remove it in the spring of '91,
and have the split aluminum tank welded. Yeah, I *should* have known,
but just pumped out the fresh water system as per the instructions.
Otherwise, it was complete and very comprehensive, but covered both the
2500SCR and 2700SCR, making it necessary to pick and choose the relevant
parts.

So what does anybody think? Are the manuals likely to be better than
something individually produced for a specific boat, not as
comprehensive, or will it probably depend on a case-by-case basis?

Do you have an "owner's manual" for your boat? What would you have
liked to find included that wasn't there? Or, do you find it well done
and very helpful?
