We are embarking on a shared ownership 57' Sumerset houseboat. The organizers have asked me if I could find a generic houseboat training video--operation & safety oriented.

Any recommendations on where to get one? Manufacturer?

CB3,
You might want to check with Houseboat Magazine. Through the cobwebs in my mind, I believe I recall seeing a video for sale in their magazine...

You could also check with some prominent rental companies. They may have some type of video. www.houseboatingworld.com lists a lot of rental companies.

Found this:

Looks like it should do the job, unless someone has a better recommendation. It is even shot at Lake Powell, Utah, where our boat is docked. CB3

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. It is put together by Houseboat Magazine.
