Ebay would have a good selection of manuals. I doubt if you can get an
owners manual for your specific boat, but Chiltons, Selac, and
Mercruiser OE shop manuals are pretty popular.

for my late 70's and early 80's Mercruiser with Alpha drives, I got a
couple of lightly used mercruiser shop manuals off ebay for a third
of the price of a new one.

www.marineengine.com. Its free to join, and they have a Mercruiser
discussion board.

It's probably impossible to buy the original owners manual. But most
owners manuals have only the very basics, like what to clean your boat
with, how to change the oil, etc. And aftermarket manual for the merc
year range that covers your boat will be most useful. Other advice
like "how to get a stain out of my gelcoat" is best found on the
internet.

If you live anywhere where it freezes the single most important thing
you absolutely have to do is winterize your boat. The engine will
retain cooling water from use and that water will freeze and crack
things like the engine block.

I hooked up my shop vac in reverse, and blew all the water out. Way
better than filling it with messy antifreeze.
