A friend just bought a used boat with 2002 Mercruiser 3.0 with Alpha One, Gen 2 drive. We have the service manuals (#14 & #26), but we are in need of something a bit more basic, like an owners manual or operators manual. I only know outboards, so this is all new to me. The service manuals assume that you already know quite a bit, which we don't. Is there such a manual out there? We prefer OEM manuals. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Do you happen to have the engine serial number handy? With that # I might be able to find you an owners manual part number from Mercruiser.:)

Here is your Mercruiser owners manual part number 90-860171023 has superseded to 90-860171030 Owners manual. Item currently is out of stock at all Mercury warehouses. MSRP: $26.95

The manual before the above part number that would work was 90-860168990 OWNERS MANUAL (2000/2001) and it is in stock or google the part number if you like.

Re: Owner's manuals?

Well, I found my owner's manual. Found it in stock at Miamimarina.com. Ordered it. Got a phone call back, there will be a several day delay, it will ship in a few days. That was 3 1/2 weeks ago. Called today, manual is still in Fond du Lac (Merc). I may have it in several more weeks. I'll probably never see it and am considering contacting my credit card company. Just remember who I ordered it through, should you ever visit their site. There's a reason why my order # was just barely into the "thousands". I'm giving up on an owner's manual.
