Manufacturers can now purchase a "generic" owners' manual, and the
publisher will tweak it to more specifically apply to the specific
product line.

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?
