Thanks

The market seems to have dried up, but hold on until HT sees your thread, he knows your set-up.

Re: OEM manuals

Paul,

Did you post your model number before?

The 1987 models were 754 APFTC, APSRC, BPFTC and BPSRC Yours could be an 87.

The different model numbers referred to thru-hull/thru-prop exhaust and power/manual steering.

Just because your boat is an 88 does not mean the engine/drive are. Boat manufacturers routinely use last years model eng/drives in their boats.

I just did a search using Google and found this:
http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/omc_sterndrive/order_1980-93.html

They're not cheep! I paid $100 for just the OMC service manual. I also have the owners and parts manuals.

By the way I did not get mine from Marine parts.com It appears that they are providing reprints.

Your mileage may vary......


Cheers,


Rick

Re: OEM manuals

You could always search ebay. I just picked up OEM manuals for my engine and drive, although they are Merc. Took awhile to find, but got them and they are in very good condition. I was able to get both for less than the cost of one at retail.

Re: OEM manuals

Wouldn't you know it?

Right after I bought my manual, one DID show up on ebay for about $30 or so.

never fails!!

But if you wait too long you'll be into the summer and you'll be wishing you'd gotten that thing running!!

Thats why I started to search at the end of boating season last year. Finally received the drive manual last Saturday from Canada. The cost was well worth the wait.
