Princess 346/366 Riviera Handbook

[freidi]

Has anyone a copy of the handbook for the Princess 346 or 366 Riviera they can send me?
Have just bought a 346 Riviera with newer D4/DPH engines/outdrives.
Appreciate if anyone could assist!

Hi. Previously we have written to princes and found them very obliging with this very thing. Wiring diagrams too.

Princess may be helpful on never boats, but this is the response I got from their Aftersales responsible:
"I am sorry to say that we and the Princess factory no longer hold any parts or documentation for this age Princess. The factory work on a ten year rule .
Sorry I can’t be of much more help to you."

This lack of yacht manufacturers caring for the needs of owners of older yachts is exactly why we need forums like this so those of us that own older boats can help each other.
Maybe it is a good idea that YBW establish a kind of archive where forum members can upload handbooks, boat tests, brochures, wiring diagrams, manuals etc.

I can't help with the wiring diagram, but a Princess 346/366 with a pair of recent D4 engines sounds like a fantastic boat! What size are they?

 

[freidi]

D4-260 with DPH outdrives. Should enable cruising speed of 26-28 knots.

Same engine/drive I have in my boat (albeit only one of them) and very pleased with it. Good luck with your Princess, it sounds like a great combination with those motors.
