    add temp and pressure sensors 1998 115 60 deg V4

    I just bought a pontoon with a 1998 Evinrude GL 115HP (not FICHT) and really need more info about the engine operation.

    mercruiser 3.7 manual?

    Naturally, now that I need it, the mercruiser service manuals are no longer available free on line. Is there another free source? I have an '87 Mercruiser 3.7 and I would pay for a manual if I could identify the right one. There are several on eBay but most are just identified by manual...
