Yes, there will be one on the boat. However, as I stated, I want to review it before I get to the boat, and once there, I don't plan on reading anythiing but a chart when necessary. My airplanes all had manuals too, but they didn't get read at 16,000 feet. I'm probably a little crazy, but I like to know as much about how things work on a boat I "own for a week" as cruisers know (or should know) about the boat they live on. And while there are certainly model to model similarities, its the differences that get you.
