    for the GM 3.0. the two choices are 1990 and older, or 1991 and newer. I would look for a mid 90's bayliner with a rotten hull and get the 91 and newer motor with a 92 and newer drive.

    I/O Characteristics

    Late 70’s Mercury 20 Hp manual

    dont trust any PDF as the factory only did print. boatinfo is no longer around, so your only choice is to purchase a mercury manual from ebay or brunswick direct.

    Happiest Day of Ownership !!!

    if the vinyl is still pliable, re-use it.. just re-sew you will know as soon as you start pulling staples as to the condition of the vinyl. however if that area is sun-baked, replace.
