New Cafe Owner Questions

[Frequency]

You guys knew it was coming - the questions.

I read every Cafe thread on all the sites before buying my '91. A lot of good info.

I'm looking for an owner's manual and wiring diagram. Any other emailable info that might be available would be very helpful.

Oh, and if the Cig forum sponsor could send a box of samples that would be great! My wife likes to keep extras on the boat just in case.

:sifone:

If he sends you ANYTHING resembling this, do NOT open it. Diall 911 and tell them you have a haz-mat situation.

However if it looks like this, it's probably safe to open (he may be trying to redeem himself so he doesn't get duct taped to a bouy in key west)

I remember when he was peddling the Kool-Aid on that other site. I didn't drink it then, and I ain't touching it now! :26:

Dude! I just got the boat. Patience man!

Here's a pic from the pull home. I submit it for it's artistic quality (note the reflection on the top of the tool box). :biggrinjester:

The V10 pulled the boat just fine. The biggest hassle was choosing gas stations carefully. We did the "no way here, let's try the next exit" routine a few times. I'm looking forward to moving up to a diesel, but I gotta wait until spring for the 6.7's to come out.

Great looking Cafe!! Good luck with her!!!

 

[LEOPAJM]

Where's she gonna stay in FMB ?

Nice lookin boat !

We are going to check out the area with our boat in a few weeks and let the experience dictate if we add a lift behind the house for her, or just run her down there from time to time. Either way, the boat will spend most of its time on midwestern lakes.

Here's a canal view from the back of the house. The end of the canal puts you at the North end of Estero Island.

Shoot me an email at eric.ancarrow (at) ferguson.com

I have a bunch of cafe stuff including the owners manual and a bunch of other wiring/plumbing stuff that I would be glad to send you.
