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 guess now I understand why the prices are all over the map. The one I
sent for was $29, and from the factory, they are around $70. This one said
"official mercury", so I'll take a look, but believe for that price, I will
be sending it back "not as advertised." I bought it on Amazon with a CC.
