Chrysler LS-16 "Lone Star" Owner's Manual

Thanks go to Kathy Fernandez, who scanned and sent in a copy of the original Chrysler LS-16 "Lone Star" Owner's Manual. Kathy and her family sails their Lone Star on Carancahua Bay, between Palacious and Port Lavaca on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Copies of the owner's manual pages that Kathy scanned in are provided below. This manual contains helpful information for Lone Star owners. Kathy attempted to maintain the original look and feel of this document as much as possible. Consequently, the manual may look better printed out than it does on screen.

The drawings and equipment lists comprising the manual were too time consuming to convert to .html format, so they were simply scanned and saved as .gif files. For your benefit, I've included the page numbers, descriptions, and file sizes. To view the individual pages of the manual, simply click on the descriptions in the table below.

Please keep in mind that these .gif files may be fairly large, so be patient while they are loading.
