    Owner manuals?

    I recently got my hands on a 1990 GT 183GS Gambler boat. Since its my first real bass boat, I have no idea how things in it work. Is there any way to get the owners manual from somewhere? or am I going to have to start figuring out how everything works...... thanks

    Welcome to BBC & the Gambler Forum Bill!! The guys on this board WILL help you! No BS, just the facts & opinions of people with a ton of experience with Gamblers and Bass Boats in General.

    The most important thing in my opinion is maintenance. Check your steering system (Cables, cable ends, etc.), Engine mounting bolts, Trailer wheel bearings, etc., etc.. I think "Murphy" was born in a bassboat, many things wear out, but if maintained will last a long time.

    Good luck with the new boat and good fishing!!
