Does that even exist? It's a bit stressing to always start the fault diagnosis just by following lines and then figuring out voltage supplies etc.
Are there any Donzi dealerships that have maintenance departments? Those guys should have them. At least if the boating world has anything comparable with automotive industry what i'm more familiar with.
Sadly, the boating world is NOTHING like the automotive world from a dealer perspective. At least on the service end. I've handled about 5 different boat lines and the factory's support ranged from minimal to nothing. At times, I've actually hand-drawn schematics and sent them back to THEM! Case in point - I have a fairly recent model Carver 44' yacht with factory installed electronics. The customer is having a problem with the electronic gyro compass, which is a small black box about 3" square. It can be mounted most anywhere so instead of tearing apart 50' of bundled and zip-tied wiring harness to find it I asked my factory service rep where they mounted it. Answer: I don't know. And this is one of the better brands I've handled.
Often the best bet on the factory end is when they can go out to the line and ask somebody who originally built that model boat. However as George pointed out that's not likely on an older Donzi.
Oh, and don't tell me there aren't any fast boats in Finland - I saw Kimi in that poker run a few years ago. He may have been wearing a gorilla suite, but we all know it was him!
BTW - love the Z33. Great looking boats!
