Picked up a 150hp black max.. bad cyl. Manual?

[s1120]

Just picking up a 1982 17ft rinken boat with a Black Max 150hp outboard. The engine has a holed piston, but still turns over. Not looking to put a ton of money into this, but need a manual on the motor to get working on her. Im assuming a OE manual would be best, but Im a little baffled over the part numbers, and models. As stated this is a Black Max 150HP. I believe by talking to the owner, and a quick search of the Ser # that the engine is a 82 also. the Number is 6009732. Any info on what manual I need? Thanks

Here's a manual on fleabay... Mercury Mariner Outboards Service Manual Binder V 135 thru V 225 90 976558 X | eBay

But $99 is the same as new from Merc. Offer him a bit less, or go to Merc direct....

Well the past owner ended up having a Seloc, and a Clymer manual for the engine. I know they are probably not the best, but they should get me going, and seeing if this engine is rebuildable. Thanks for all the info!

'Pecking order' for manuals...

OEM.. Steak Dinner (and a nice one at that)
Seloc.. MuckDonalds happy burger (Always wondered why that call it 'happy', I'm NEVER happy after having to eat one of those.:noidea
Clymer.. Bag of crushed up stale crisps.
