Mercruiser 170/470 manual. Is this the right one?

[paperdesk]

Hi! I'm hoping you can help me figure out if this is the correct manual for my engine. I have a 1986 Bluewater with a Mercruiser 170 which is a 470 series motor. Fresh water cooled etc. I want to get the original and correct owners and service manual for it. Here's the link I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERC...9QQihZ001QQcategoryZ26453QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It didn't list a year, but that's the model number on my boat, so I'm thinking it's right. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

And would this be the operation manual?

Being Dated 1976,..... It would cover the Mod.1 drive....
Your 1986 is, or should be an Alpha 1 drive......

The Motor didn't change awhole lot though,..... Nor the Drives for that matter.....
Just a Few subtle changes.....

I see. well, I'll see if I can find the right one for my year. If not, perhaps this one will do. Thanks!
