SweMathias Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi! Just bought a winter project and are looking for some information, does anyone out there have a manual/wiring diagram for the falcon boats? And had anybody replaced the top windshield? and are sitting on manufacturing drawings for the aluminium frame-work, would that be super! Tanks!

diesel falcon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 javascript:PopWin2('http://www.seaglaze.co.uk/'); javascript:PopWin2('http://www.trendmarine.com/'); hi in all probability one of these would have made windscreen frames for falcon,s as they are local to the factory, you can drop them an email...you never know. As for the wiring, you,ll find that most boats would have been bespoke, because of the different engine/trim packages. If you are fitting a new engine, you should be able to get an instrument package for that engine, not so important on say a small outboard, these people may have supplied falcon as this style of panel is fitted to my falcon......http://www.brianwards.co.uk/b-w-products/panels/pump-nav-lights-panel-140x90mm.html worth asking? good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 ps. i am sure you can get a local canopy made but...this guy used to make canopys for falcon, you never know he might know who made the windscreens? http://baileycovers.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweMathias Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Tanks diesel falcon for all the tips, I will look into these options. Why I asked for the wiring diagram, is that all cables are marked under the pulpit... Worth a shot to see if anybody had a diagram:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Has it got an engine fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweMathias Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 No not yet, got a v8 diesel, that I'm fitting into it. Those cables I think i can figure out, but all the lighting in the cabin, all the pumps installed etc. nice to get some info so I don't need to redo all those cables.

Jim Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I will dig out a Falcon 23 manual I bought some years ago. From memory, it was pretty basic and I can't recall any wiring diagrams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi Mathias, I can probably find out who made the original screens for the Falcon range but this would go back to 1984 onwards. We had our old port and starboard windows replaced and I'm sure this was done by a local marine glazing company in Brundall. All the local Falcon 22 and 23 models that I have seen have the same arrangement as ours so it looks like they were using the same design/company for quite some time. I remember being given a guided tour of the Quayline 245 you own and I don't think the builder had fitted any screens if I remember correctly?

Jim Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Oh I forgot to mention that Trev (diesel Falcon) is more than likely close suggesting Trend were involved at the time. When we replaced our fender rubber in 2004, they were the only company that could supply the perfect fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweMathias Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Tanks for all the answers. I think it's the top windshield has the same setup as falcons, my problem is to know. Or take a chance and order a set of frames, test it and then add glass. That's why I'm trying to get some drawings of the windshield. With some dimensions on it.
