5.0L MerCruiser Question?

[Luc6189]

I have the 5.0L MerCruiser 305cid with the Alpha 1 outdrive in my 08 Bayliner Deck Boat and I am trying to get her ready for the summer here in MI and I cannot for the life of me find my owners manual. I need to know what oil and filter to use for this engine and what other maintenance check-offs I should look at. I would go to the dealer and get a new manual but that is a 160 mile drive round trip and dont have the time right now so I am hoping some of my fellow boaters can help me out! Thanks

Filter is Wix #51061, and I like 30wt Delo 400.

If you go to the top of the page, you will see a permanent post with technical info in it - including a link where you can download the manual for free. You will also see a post with good info on "summerizing" your engine.

Here's the oil recommendation:

Thanks a lot, I'm going to use Mercury 25w40 Synthetic blend. I didn't find the link though on summerizing...
