Which Service Manual?

[Rock Hall]

I have noticed that there seems to be a couple of different service manuals that appear to cover my engine and drive. Can someone tell me what I need to know to get the proper manuals?

89 Sea Ray. 260 HP 350 GM V-8
Alpha One Gen One Drive

I' going to do an engine swap and need the best info I can get.

Thanks!

Re: Which Service Manual?

Merc service manual #15 covers engines from 89 to 92. But, just because you have an 89 boat doesn't gaurentee you have an 89 engine and drive package. It's quite common to have an older engine package because the engine model year starts at a different time than the boat hull. The only way to know for sure is by the engine serial number.
You outdrive is covered by Merc manual #6, PN 90-12934-2. Which is also online
