2010 4.3L TKS 190hp manual -- "another manual ?..."

[BoatDrinksQ5]

Well hate to "be that guy" - Asking about manuals for the gazillionth time... :redface:

Since i have gotten my boat i have been able to find my Outdrive Service Manual (#14) through the generosity of the folks here and also found a link on the web for brunswick marine that had my original Mercruiser O&M guide (which is great IMO).

My last remaining manual is for the black beauty--4.3L-- -i assume there is something a little bit more in depth then the O&M? I hope to not have to need it in the next few years - but thought i should start my reading if i want any chance at getting my 'Shade Tree' certification :redface: Is it out there?

2010 4.3L TKS 190hp, alpha1gen2

thanks!

thanks! any chance there is a way to save those pdf's? I have tried printing to PDF also and it keeps crashing? I'll try a different type of browser...

All the engine manuals found online are only good for engines through 2008. So don't be surprised if things don't match up to your 2010 model exactly.

Yeah i have kind of noticed this - only manual that is close to right seems to be the O&M guide from brunswick direct - they have one for every year/model.

opposed to this 1999 stuff!

Got the manuals all printed to PDF with IE (instead of FFox)!

Assuming you mean it's now a pdf file and not paper, How did you do that?

I was able to do a print from the print button on the site itself. Then since i have full blown adobe on my work computer i could print to PDF (pdf995 is free and can do same thing) but the site limits you to 50pages at a time. So since #25 is 700pages! it would be all in parts.

With the full adobe i can combine all the parts into one PDF (144mb!eek) - add bookmarks for the sections...etc.

I've got Adobe Acrobat X Pro but I can't print to it.

Tryout PDF995 - a little annoying with the ad - but should showup as a printer in your list.

Try looking in the settings in Adobe and see if there is a setting you can setup to allow "printing". My lisc is pretty old (~8.0) i doubt they would have removed features... Maybe google PDF printer adobe pro x or somethign

Well, that was an exercise in futility. I have the converter installed as a printer, but it doesn't work. Don't really need it though, I have all the manuals I need.
Thanks for the help on it anyway.
