Re: where is the best place to get a manual? (merc 170)
The Merc manuals are the best ones to get, especially for the Mercruiser 470 style engine that you have. It's not a Chevy or Ford, but built by Mercruiser.<br />You may find one on ebay, but if you don't, you need Book #8 for your engine.<br />You can buy them from the link below, about 20 bucks cheaper than you can get them from Mercruiser directly.<br />And don't expect to to find one with "All the current tech bulletins" that just ain't gonna happend even if you buy one directly from Mercruiser.<br /><br />
