Looking for help with my 1980 f30 flybridge

So last weekend I scored a f30 flybridge for cheap due to the owner needing it gone to bring his new boat into his slip. I noticed on my way home from boston to south Eastern CT some issues. First is the wiring and switches are all not labeled and then that I have a vibration and just had her pulled today. Found one rudder bent and the props could use a reconditioning. After further inspection looks like one of the rudder shafts is bent as well as the rudder on the starboard side. Looking to see if anyone has any sources for used parts as well as input on also figuring out how to get the inside ac and 120 stuff going well out on sea got her to do deep sea fishing

Beacon marine has the parts. And they have the owners manual that would be a lot of help.

Agree. Call Bob at Beacon Marine. He helped me out getting a new rudder to replace the one “fixed” a couple of years ago, then then decided to abandon ship just after I left the dock. There’s a ton of good information and parts available just a phone call and/or email away. Congrats on the new boat. We’ve had our F26 since 1999 and have spent love, blood, tears and money on her ever since. Worth every bit.
