Re: please recc'd the right manual.

You need manual #7 PN 90-12410 for your engine, the link Bondo gave you is for a 93 and newer engine with a balance shaft.<br />You need manual #6 for your outdrive.<br />Here is a link to #6, just move your cursor over the cover and index page and click on the links to the different sections.<br />Some are fairly large files and will take a while to open.<br /><br /> http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/6/6covr3.pdf

I've got a #6 Mercruiser manual that I bought with some stuff at an auction sale. It doesn't work for my boat so I'd make someone a deal on it. It's pretty new so you'd have to add the greasy fingerprints yourself.
