Re: manual, try ebay and craigslist, others on this forum have specific e dealers. Most reliable is outboardmotors.com. They have all the factory manuals and reprints of same. Not the cheapest, but guaranteed good product and excellent service. Don't waste your money on Clymer or Seloc unless you only plan on changing spark plugs.
