I think I may have messed up. This is the book I ordered. Below it
is the 90-# that was suggested to me to buy. Did I get the wrong
book, or just not the best book?

The only place you can order the proper OEM service manual, to my
knowledge, is from a Mercury dealer.



Actually, you can also order them direct from Mercury online.

I get ERROR - ACCESS DENIED. I bookmarked it, and will try again later.


Yeah, I'm getting that as well. It's been a while, but I've definitely
ordered Mercruiser owner's manuals as well as the real deal service shop
manuals for my stern drives and engines over the years. I remember the
last time there was some ambiguity regarding which manuals for my serial
numbers, so I called Mercruiser and we completed the transaction over the
phone. Everything showed up in a white box at my doorstep a few days
later.


I just tried the link for kicks. Worked fine. No "Access Denied".


You didn't drill deep enough. After clicking "Manuals and How Tos", then
oh, say "Sterndrive/Inboard", then "Gas Engines", you will then get the
message. It's like deciding exactly what you want for dinner on the menu
after much thought, only to be told by the waiter that they're out of that
selection this evening. Bummer.

However, me thinks that was a bogus selection anyway. Here's the real deal.
This goes to Mercury Publications, where I remember ordering my manuals.
