I've got a new sea ray sundancer 260 with 1997 merc 5.7L efi and i'd like to find a pdf version of service manual. searched around and can't find anything. Anyone help?
One of the first things i need to do is figure out how to tighten the serpentine belt as it's squeaking a tiny bit... and the other day after idling for about 5 mins, then revving up a little, the belt starting slipping to a point the squeal was so unbearably bad it almost made my ears bleed!!! had to shut down and test re-starting a few times with same squeal present. Started it up a few hours later and fine. let idle for 10 mins., revving again to try and duplicate, and nothing (except the very minor squeak... a squeak so minor i would never have thought to tighten the belt). It's a new boat so i'm learning my way around it and would love the manual if anyone knows where to download?
