My 2000 version of that motor (2 stroke) has 4 plastic round plugs in
the
middle of the silencer that can be removed which provides better access
to
the carbs. I plan on spraying through them.


The 115 Merc on my former Dauntless (now my son-in-laws') had the same
thing. Pop the plugs, fog, and reinsert the plugs. Mine was a 2001.

This is my first season with my boat (2000 Sea Ray 180) and I bought the
same Seloc manual. While it is full of information, it's not very motor
specific; so, there is a certain amount of reasonable deduction (guessing)
that has to be done. But, it's a learning experience and part of the fun
;-)

Yes, I have exactly the same feeling. I end up ordering a copy of the
manual (not sure the name of the manual off the top of my head) from
Mercury Marine through internet. Its price is high considering the
fact that it doesn't have that many pages. It has enough info related
to winterizing the lower unit and is specific to the model of outboard
that I have. This surely is reassuring.
