Please help finding service manual.

[veritas honus]

I've been searching for a service manual for my 1992 Yamaha 4.3L I/O. My boat is a 1992 Chaparral 2050SLC. Does anyone know of a source? All of my online searches have been unsuccessful. Please help turn my into a Thank You!!!

P.S.: Mod's, Please forgive me for posting this in two different forums. I've already posted this in the I/O forum, but I figured posting it here too would get additional exposure. Thank you!!!

None that i could find on Ebay...
Looks like a Seloc or Clymers may be the only choice.

Biffleman,

I went to Napa this morning and The gentleman who tried to help me looked on the computer and two different catalogues. he searched for almost an hour before telling me they don't have it and can't get it. If you think of anything else, I'm all ears. Thank you again.

Here is an 89 OEM manual....Not sure if the motors or drives had any changes but it still should be very helpful.

Rare to see on Ebay,

Gary H NC,

Thank you for the link to the ebay seller. He's away until the 25th, but I'm going to get the book. I've also found two different sources for Clymer's Yamaha 4.3L I/O 1989-1991. I also found out , tonight, why yamaha stopped importing thier I/O's in 1993. OMC sued them for patent infringment for copying their design. They copied and improved upon it, but the courts felt that they didn't improve upon it enough to clear the patent and found in favor of OMC. I'm only assuming that because my boat is a 1992, that the engine is also 1992; I could very well be wrong about that. I only know that it's the original motor and it runs like a dream. After sitting for a year, it started right up and the following day, I had it out on the water for more than six hours of purring like a kitten and screaming like an eagle. Again... I thank you!!!

Thanks again to all of you!!!

I was telling my wife about the manual over the phone; and her being much more computer saavy than I, interrupts me while I'm telling her that even though it's a 1989 manual, it'll be extremely helpful at the very least, she interupted me to tell me that she just ordered it for me. I had told her it was on ebay and she immediately searched for and found it. What a wonderful wife... Anyway, Thanks again everyone. It's a pleasure and an honor to be part of such a great community.
