Questions about service manual for '86 Merc 140

[mike64]

I just bought a 1986 Rinker with a Merc 140, Alpha One outdrive. I want to get a service manual- what's my best option and what's the correct service manual for my engine? I have the serial numebr off the engine, but the drive and alpha one serial numbers were near impossible to read. I'm assuming that there's only one type of '86 140 merc engine and stern drive, right? Anyway, here's what I've found on eBay-

Marine engines books 1 and 2:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986...50405799590QQptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature

Stern drives and marine engines, but only book 1:

Or...stern drives and marine engines, sections 1-10:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986...60573209803QQptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature

I'm thinking that last one is the ticket. Looks like it has everything. Or is there a source for OEM service manual reprints?
