2001, 75ELPTO Service Manual, PN 830234R04

[rbaratt]

I am looking for the service manual for my 75 ELPTO, ser # OT183191. The part number for the manual is 830234R04. I have found pdf version of 830234R03 which looks like an older version for engines up to 1997, of the same manual. I have not been able to find any pdf manuals online for 830234R4. Is worth my spending the $80 for Revision 4? I'm thinking that most of the procedures are very similar.

Hi there, welcome to iboats

While it's always best to have the latest manual for your exact engine model due to the possibility of any model line updates or errors found between the years made, typically for basic info of how to do routine service work, the earlier manual R03 should work just the same for you as the R04.

That mentioned, most people (not all) tend to prefer to have a "book" next to them wile working rather than a computer laptop or printed pages. etc. etc.

What type of work you doing, service or heavy line repair?

I had the same problem with my 2002 90. Could only get the OEM manual you mentioned. However if you look up in the top-right hand corner of the forum page you will see Seloc ads. You can order a new manual or pay a time premium for usage online. I did the latter and it was cheap, instantaneous...did not have to wait for the mail man, and current. In some instances I preferred the Seloc to the OEM..... better definitions and more pictures.

Edit: Well I just checked and they used to be up there along with other ads for things sold on here. Go to the site search engine and plug in the name. That ought to get it.

Thanks for the information. I will be trying to wake up this 75hp motor that was "fogged" and stored for more than 5 years. Additionally I wanted to learn more about the oil injection system, as I have heard that many opt to disable this system. I would like the convenience of the VRO and prefer to keep the engine running as originally designed. If I run the injection system as designed, what safeguards (if any) are in place to help avoid catastrophic failure? Or is it just Russian Roulette?
