    Angry Mercruiser Service Manuals Removed!!!!!

    Hi all,

    I just tried to download a service manual from the adults only section, but it appears someone has gotten wise and removed them. Clicking the links now diverts to their website where we have to buy them.

    Has anyone downloaded them???

    Perhaps they could be posted on rapidshare or something similar???

    I have space on a net drive that I can place them onto. I could make it open for all to use as read only but make it write and read until we get the manuals uploaded.

    A file on the internet is like pee in a pool. Once it's in there, it can never be fully removed.

    Thanks for uploading, BDT!

    Great to see some replies.

    I'm after numbers 2 & 3 which annoyingly are huge according to the link info and if anyone does have them will take a looong time to upload.

    Still as its my opinion they should be provided free with all boats and vehicles its great to see some people putting in the effort to upload those they have. I PM'd Don S to see if he has any but haven't had a reply yet.

    Cheers,

    it's working for me...... Tell me i'm awesome and i'll tell you how i'm doing it
    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 looked at it this morning and tried several things and finally made it work, but I was out of time and had to go to work.
    Seems the direct click of the link no longer works, but if instead of clicking the link to start the download, with Internet explorer, just RIGHT click the link and click on "COPY SHORTCUT" the shows up in the menu. Then paste that link in the browswers address bar and click enter. It will open the link, sorry, no way yet to get a Save As to work with it that way.

    Damm Don... You ruined my secret and now nobodys going to tell me i'm awesome

    To save it, go into your windows explorer (not IE) and in the tabs click, tools, folder options, then file types. You can dissassociate PDFs and when you paste the link you'll get a prompt to "save as"

    Awww... you guys are the best hehe....

    I got the cover of 35 to work, precision pilot, but not the rest. Back when it was working i basically sitripped it. Got everything there was to get. I'll have to mess around with it when i get some time to see if i can get anything else out of the site.
    I did get all the full size wiring diagrams. Again if i get some time i'll try to add them to a 4share account and have it added to the stickys.

    Sure be nice to have a mercnet password though.

    How is work Don? Busy? I'll start a post in DC in a bit but I'm definitely moving, Massachusettes just stinks right now. I haven't touched a thing in weeks and i'm going crazy.
