Recently purchased an 87 Albin 27 sport cruiser after a long search. It has an Isuzu diesel that purrs. I am searching for engine manuals and electrical diagrams for the vessel. Anyone have any luck with either?

Re: Albin Owner's Manuals
Hi James. I split your post from the original thread given that it is 11 years old!
We do have a document library for supporting members but there’s not a lot the on the 27 unless you’re looking for some drawings and interesting marketing materials from back in the day. The library is available to supporting members of AOG. Buy yourself on of the back in stock burgees or a hat and you’re in for life!
EDIT - I went back and checked in the engines section and there is a manual for the Isuzu 6B series.
Generally there’s no such thing as an “Owners Manual” for ANY vintage Albin. Really just the manuals for add one like electronics, generators, and such that the previous owners assembled.
Best of luck with your new 27!

Re: Albin Owner's Manuals
As a matter of interest, when I purchased my A-30FC new in 2015, I noted the absence of any kind of owner's manual. I wrote a polite letter to the owner of the Albin company and pointed out how useful a manual would be and compared it with a previous Hunter sailboat I had that came with a very good manual that included all "as fitted" drawings and all the basics necessary to know the boat. I received a response the owner himself that seemed to understand my point and promised to do something about it. Not long afterwards the owner retired and the company was closed before any manuals came into existence.
Thankfully, this site has been most useful as a source of information submitted by Albin owners that helps fill the gaps caused by Albin's "no manual" policy.

Re: Albin Owner's Manuals
A minor correction to my previous post...I purchased my A-30FC new in 2005, not 2015!
Of course there was no "Albin" manual, but there was a thick binder with the instructions for the installed pieces, engine, AC, electronics, etc.
