    Default Mercruiser Twin 5.7L EFI Service Manual?

    hello!
    So i'm still looking for the manual. I was directed to the Adults Only section but it's all gibberish to me I'm not sure which one i should download. I downloaded Manual #17 but i'm not sure if thats the one i need. I got some information on the engine so can someone please tell me which one it is that i should download?! I would greatly appreciate it!

    The details are:

    2000 Mercruiser Twin 5.7L EFI v8.

    I have 2 serial#'s for it and they are:
    OL656235/OL656260

    Are you looking for the Operators Manual or the Service Manual? If it is the Service Manual, I think you need #24. What's Gibberish?

    EFI = Electronic Fuel Injection CID = Cubic Inch Displacement . . .

    Manual #24 is the manual you need for those engines. If you are having problems understanding EFI and CID, you are going to have fun with some of the other abbreviations used in the manual and on the engine.

    Sorry Mrs. Jessy, I think we now get it . . . I guess we need to consider that the poster is not always the repairer or operator or owner . . .
