Here is a Q&A from a new Pearson 33-2 owner:
Q:Hi We just bought the 1986 33' Pearson Sailboat but the previous owner didn't have the manual/factory literature for it. Looking all over internet and unable to locate a copy of it. It needs some work and the manufacturer's literature would help us out tremendously. Please any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time-Ann
A:Hi Ann,
Congratulations and welcome to the Pearson owners community! From my experience as a Pearson owner and web-developer there are only a handful of the many Pearson models that have copies of owners manuals on the web - a result of generous owners sharing digital copies/scans. With that said I have been unable to find a digital copy for the P33.
The Pearson manuals tend to have similar content - so if you find a manual of a similar model/generation (such as the 31-2) you might be able to find some information useful.
Here are some references that may help:

https://www.pearsonyachts.org/models/p31-2/docs/pearson-31-2-owners-manual.pdfFor item #2 there is a charter business "fairwinds" in Canada that mentions a P33 owners manual and has included parts of it in their operating procedures. Since they run a business they may be willing to make you a copy of the manual. (perhaps for a nominal fee?) If you do obtain a copy of the manual please consider sharing it with us and we will post it on PearsonYachts.org.
