Fairline Mirage Owners Manual

[LynneP]

Apologies if the manual has already been posted on here somewhere, but I've searched through lots of the pages and haven't seen anything.

We have a Fairline Mirage, and trying to find a copy of the owners manual is like a search for the holy grail! We've got a copy of the original 80s sales brochure (2 pages), but we would really appreciate a copy of the manual, containing all the usual info on engines, wiring and anything else like you might find in a Haynes Manual for cars.

Does anyone have a scanned copy that they could let us have?

Thanks so much in advance.

Kind regards
Lynne

I wouldn't hold much hope of being informed by a manual I have one with my targa 27 to say basic would be a overstatement

Built in 1981, I own the Mirage featured on the brochure for the Mark 2 model.
Never been able to find a manual.
Original petrol engines replaced with diesel, I ended up writing my own manual as best I could.

You will find online a very detailed workship manual for the VP 280 outdrives.

I know there's been a fair bit of manual scanning / sharing over the years so try a search of these forums for 'manual' and perhaps send a private message to the members involved.

To be honest, they aren't massively useful as many boats will have had components changed or renewed over the years. As 'ms' says, the engine and drive workshop manuals are far more useful and easier to find.
