Please forgive me if this has aready been asked but i went through over a hundred pages and coud not find it.
anyway i have had a 1977 ozark 170 with a 140 hp mercruiser or i think it is actually a 181 or 3 lliter chevy motor dumped on me from a friend because i told him i would help him hook it up with muffs and check it out. Well there were a lot more problems then he made it out to be. but since he is my friend i told him i would get it going
So can someone tell me what mercruiser manuels as in what numbers i might need, i have found number 14 for the drive but i need the motor and maybe wiring if there is one
oh yea the funny thing is that i just got my polarkraft ready to go two days before he brought his boat over and i have yet to get it in the water.
any help will be appreciated

Re: 1977 mercruiser 140 hp manuel

you need s/m #2.
if it's a 78 ya need 3 and 4.

#14 covers alpha1 genII drive. that info won't cover your drive.. a '77 would have a mc-1 drive if oem.

they 'used' to be available in pdf. but merc decided to pursue copy right and leave us all hosed so they could make the almighty dollar..

ebay?
mercruser for sure. they're only a c note.....:(

ideally. confirm proper s/m by s/n...

The Mercruiser '140' is a GM 181 (3.0 litre) long motor.

You need manual #2 for the engine and the drive....
Manual #14 is for Alpha One Gen II drives (1991 and later)
