Default New (to me) Mariah Owner - 1993 Barchetta

Hi All,

I recently purchased a new to me 1993 Mariah Barchetta, possibly a Z? Not sure how to check. Doesn't have the cooler on the swim platform, but it has every other option the Z did from one youtube video I saw. All new upholstery a year ago. The previous owner swapped out the 4.3L for a 5.0L Merc. Doing some TLC and minor fixes before I take it out on the water myself for the first time. Trim is hotwired which I would like to fix as well as some other odds and ends. Anyone know a good place to get the Bimini frame aside from ordering new? Or the canvas cockpit and bow covers? Local shop can make them, but for around $1200. Might be a next year purchase. Thanks for the add and would love any tips or suggestions regarding these boats. Thanks!

    Bimini, cockpit and bow covers are all only custom make or used. Add a set of Nauticus Smart Tabs with the 60 lb actuator arms. Makes a world of difference in your planing ability. Do a site search here for 'Smart Tabs' if you want to read the opinions of others.

    There is a Troubleshooting guide for the Trim/Tilt system here:

    and a wiring diagram;

    Yeah, I figured it was all make new or find used. Have a friend who said he can make them if I help/but the material. We'll see how ambitious I get. Thanks for attaching the wiring diagram!
