    Does anyone know where I can print or acquire a manual for a 1988 Four Winns 160 running an OMC 4 cyl. 130 HP engine.

    Maybe your dealer's recycling box?......

    The manuals for a lot of these old boats were more or less useless to anyone with boating experience. They included such tips as "note that steering control is from the stern (back), not the front as with a car" or "you may lose visibilty when the bow rises while coming onto plane". You've got a pretty generic hull there and an engine that's still being used today (albeit in slightly more refined trim). So check Bombardier's website or dealers for stuff on the motor, and the boat you can probably figure out as you go.

    Thank You

    Actually I have a 20 1/2' open bow running a 454 with a berkley pump. This one belongs to my ex-boss in Rockford, Ill. He is asking me questions on the engine which I can not see nor hear. I assumed if I could look @ the engine manual showing all the connections, I could be better able to accommodate his questions.

    Thanks,
    Bob
