Question Sonic 42 SS '96

Good day,

I'm new to this forum, sorry if i mix up something here.

I bought Sonic 42 SS year 1996, brought it to Sweden, Stockholm.

And then the problems started, I found dozens of issues in the boat which are need to be fixed. I want to have the boat in water this year.

Can anybody help me?

Firstly I want to find Blueprints of the boat. This is needed to recheck all the systems.

Is there any company dealing with custom hatches?

Is there any good place to look for body parts?

Thanks in advance.

I think he means wiring schematics. I'm not sure if they exist. Contacting the factory is your first step. Posting pics and specefics here is your second. good Luck ! It will be worth it when you're done.

Gozee you need to call the factory. Their is only one person there that can help with your problem (BRUCE). This company has been bought and sold twice, he is the only one left from the orignal company and knows these boats very well. I have 1999 45 ss I have bought many parts lately. If you need parts and info you need to call soon, because they are changing their boats, and alot of the parts are going obselete and may not be reordered. They have special ordeded somethings for me. When you call be sure to tell the lady anwsering the phone who you are and where you are calling from, Bruce is hard to get a hold of but not impossible.

Hey guys,

I was away for some time, now I'm back with more info about the boat.

-It's two Diesel Engines - Twin Yanmar(1x370Hp)
-BMAX drives

I've made a picture of the boat for you also.

Question

My first questions would be.

1)In the documents it's stated that the boat is built year 1996.
But the Hull identification Number (HIN) ends "...97". How can it be possible, and what is the real year of this boat?

2)I have a valve, and it has three working positions: 1.Open 2.Close 3.Flow Please can anyone explain to me what does the valve in working position "Flow"?

Thank you in advance!

If the hull number ends in "97" then the boat is a 1997 model. It may have been built in 1996 but is actually a 97


I am only assuming that the valve in question has to do with fuel flow. Is it mounted on the panel under the rear seat??

Being that the boat probably did not come with the diesel engines they may have bypassed that valve. Check on the back side of where it is mounted and see if there are any hoses attached.


Any pictures of what you are describing would be a great help
