Sunseeker Portofino 31

[Baroda]

Hi, I've just purchased a 1989 Sunseeker Portofino 31 and wondered if anyone has a owners manual or could point me in the right direction.
Also any useful tips from current or past owners would be greatly received!

Hi Baroda, Welcome to forum.
which engines do you have? I’ve got a number of manuals for my boat online from members on here, I own a 1992 SAN Remo 35 with Kad 42 engines, and could send you over these to look at....

Hi Matt, I have the twin Volvo patrols...500 odd horse but v thirsty I'm sure!

Hi Baroda, in that case I don't think the Diesel engines manuals will do any good! Have seen MBY do a video test on a sunseeker Portofino 31, will include the link here. If you haven't seen it already could be worth a look for info.

Hi, I'm too joining family of Portofino 31 owners. Just bought 1992 with VOLVO Penta 570 gasoline engines. One lame question: I can't find HIN .I check almost everywhere. Any idea where HIN is located on the hull?

 

[Mr Googler]

Sunseeker at that time used build numbers....no hull stamp as such.

check around the helm area....I think mine was under the steering wheel from memory on a Martinique 38

I've found this plate only. I think you might be right re "no hull stamped HIN on transom".



Thanks for quick reply

To Jwill this is the anchor control.

As from June 1998 craft had to have him numbers on transom, RCD.

To Jwill this is the anchor control.

I have anchor control on the dashboard and on the bow (buttons). I don't need to touch this - unless it is auto/stop or something? Anyone with more detailed answer? There is this analog regulator, but what does it regulates? Speed? Or Chain length with auto-stop?

EDIT: I found it it's >>> VDO Modis 120 depth meter >>>
