    i don't shop ebay much. but that's where i got my s/m 1 and 2 at. you need #2 (C-90-71707). been a while since i won the bids, but think i got hip for 25-30 bucks each..

    even if ya gotta pay full rape for it from your dealer. the bread ya save doing your own proper repairs will outweigh the cost of the info..

    If you know the manual number you need (see Ziggy's post), Google it and see what comes up.

    When I did that for the OEM Merc manual I needed, a bunch of stuff came up and I clicked on a link to Amazon that was acting as an intermediary for a private party selling the manual I wanted. Some grease stains and water wrinkling on the back cover, but othewise fine, for $20, with payment going through Amazon. My transaction went smoothly.
