    Nope...

    But as QC says, if you check the adulty only (or the diy) sections... you can download a manual that will have all the specs you need and then some

    Welcome to iboats
    just because you found it that way... doesn't mean it's supposed to be that way.

    Part of diagnostics is spending time figuring out not only what the problem is, but also sorting through what it isn't.

    The older the engine is, the chances of it having more than 1 problem goes up exponentially

    Boating has always been a rich mans hobby. Buying a new boat gets cheaper every year, but the maintenance, the repairs, and the overall cost of ownership of a boat has never gotten any cheaper.

    I just went to get new spark plugs for my 1991 Mercruiser 3.0L, and there appears to be two different ones? Something about 3.0L and 3.0LX, how do I tell which head I have?

    Thanks!

    Hey Dallmanator, welcome aboard!!

    You should start your own thread. This is considered a "hijack" and will probably not get much attention. I saw another post where you did similar. It gets very confusing trying to figure out who is responding to whom. If you start your own thread all answers should theoretically apply specifically to your issue. Good luck . . .
