Bayliner 3.0L alpha one (Beginners maintenance)

[brian edge]

Hi, Just bought a Bayliner 1952 with an Alpha One and 3.0Litre petrol drive. I'm a boating beginner and it didnt come with any manuals regarding maintenance/oils/ and generally looking after the mechanicals. Is there something I can download or a beginners guide to looking after this engine/drive. Tell me the oil grades/fill and drain point locations / grease nipples etc. <br /><br />Ps. Its a 2000 model with only 115 hours. Is running well around Sydney harbour and I want to keep it that way.<br /><br />Thanks in anticipation.<br /><br />Brian

brian<br /><br /> http://www.mercstuff.com/howdoi.htm <br /><br />this covers some basic things but the best thing you can own is merc service manuals which can be bought on the merc web site<br /><br />tommays

Piece of advice? Buy the Merc manuals. I bought my first I/O merc last year and the manuals are not that exspensive and HELP A TON!. Plus I also picked tommays brain way back when and the mercstuff site was a huge help.<br /><br />Thanks tommays!
