Trying to find out if mercruiser has drivability manuals for their engine systems. I'm a auto mechanic by trade and we had such manuals. I have manual #31, but it doesn't tell me much and the wiring diagrams are crap. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wasn't it the thing we had to study before getting our driver's license :noidea:

But the parallel parking instruction was lacking. Aced the school bus questions! :D

Sorry to go OT, but what is a drivability manual?

In the auto world the manufacturer supplied a book for each model and or system you would use to diagnose fault problems using codes and flow charts, also wiring diags if applicable. Engine serial# om339238 6.2 mpi 377 cid in 02 fiesta vee rinker 342, dr.ser# om507178. Thanks to all

I provided links to the manuals. so if you are viewing on your phone, get off the phone, get to a 'puter and look.

Based on the posted serial numbers.....

Manual #31 gives you all the standard stuff for the engine, including wiring diagrams for the MPI engines. Manual #36 is the MPI diagnostic manual. Manual #28 is the Bravo drive manual. You will also need manual #40 for the fuel system. (many years ago, that all used to be in one book :facepalm:... I think Merc took lessons from the automotive industry... :fencing:)

Hope this helps.
