  • Tayana Reco. Req. (Put your 2 cents in)

    From beachhouse749@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 9 15:09:01 2017
    We just bought a Tayana 52 and would love to get a copy of an owners manual. Our boat has been a dock queen for a while (sad) and we are trying to move it from Fort Lauderdale north to Indian Town. Being Canadian has proved a bit of a challenge here. If
    we could get a copy of the owners manual, it would be a great help tracking down systems. Hopefully ..Dan and Dianne

    What has being a Canadian have to do with anything? As to the manual,
    since this is a current production model, why not try Tayana itself? I'm
    not sure what you'd get from a manual anyway. I had a T42, never saw the
    manual and never missed it. A Lewmar winch is a Lewmar winch...

    As to Indian Town---are you sure? You'd need to navigate a canal which presumably has opening bridges but it'd be an annoying trip. I am also
    unsure the clearance of that canal. My boat drew 5.5'. I'm not sure I
    could do that canal. The dept in charge of dredging canals seems to be
    asleep.

    5 1/2 feet is no problem at all as long as you are not going across
    Lake Okeechobee. The big restriction there is the 49 ft railroad
    bridge at Port Mayaca but that is after Indian Town. Lake levels are
    back up again after all of the recent rain.
