Re: MANUAL question

morning sns....
ya need service manual #1... C-90-68648.... the one i have came in two volumes.... ya need both.

my guess would be that #14 coverin gen 2s would not be applicable to our 1 drives..... #6 would be closer as it covers alpha1s..... but #1 is correct.....

Are you talking about vol 2 of manual #1 or are you talking about manual #2? There's a big difference.

Re: MANUAL question

OK.. I'm blind too....

That number is the early number for manual #2... Sorry sns, it's the wrong one....

The right book(s) 90-68648, are still available from

"http://www.mercruiserparts.com/partsByNumber.asp"

It's not cheap... $68, but cheaper than screwing up a new set of gears

Re: MANUAL question

nope, ya need C-90-68648. according to achris. ya have vol. 2 of that(C-90-71707) service manaul. it's just the old part number... perhaps why i couldn't goolgle it..... i use the service manual C-90-71707, but mine is a 75, yours is a 70........ they are not the same books, so i would assume there's diffeneces between the two. what differences i don't know.....

one more note. this vol. 1 and vol. 2 carp i don't understand myself. but it seems that some of them come in 2 vol.s and some come as a whole service manaul. both applicable to service manual #1 and #2..... ie. my service manual #1, i have two vol.s. my serivce manual #2 its all in one book..... yet, you have a vol. 2 of service manual #2, appentley an old part number of it.... see what i mean... odd....
