After a terrible day at work, which is normal I could use a laugh. How old is your manual and what does it smell like?

Re: What does your original Hatteras manual smell like???
My manual is of 1986 vintage for a 87 delivery by Stuart Hatteras. It was store in an drawer under the dinette seat midship. This area is right over my vacuflush components in the ER. After spending alot of time with it, I would describe it as a combination of aged salty heavy paper with a hint of the holding tank.

Mines original to the boat in 1979. It’s been kept high and dry. Smells a little like an old book.

Put a bar of soap in the case/container you keep it in.
