All bought new and no owner's manual provided:
My Dad's 1963*Columbia Defender (28.5-foot fiberglass,*gas-inboard)*sloop*had no manual (only mechanical systems were toilet, speedometer,*and Atomic 4 gasoline engine).
My 1981*Bluewater*Blackwatch (20-foot fiberglass, outboard auxiliary)*pocket cutter had no manual (only mechanical system was speedometer).
My 2011 Seahorse Marine (35-foot, 14-ton steel) trawler has no owner's manual but did have two folders worth of manuals from the manufacturers of subsystems such as engine, toilet, radar,*etcetera.
What is the norm?
