I'm just trying to find out which manual to look for. I have a 2008 mercruiser 5.0 mpi s/n 1ao51639 with alpha one gen II drive. I have a copy of manual #31 but i don't think this is the latest manual. Can anyone tell me if there is for sure a newer one and the manual number? A link would be nice too but I'm not sure that's available yet.

Re: Help with manual

What specifically are you looking for? The reason I ask is because there are 4 other manuals you would need to have all the manuals that cover you package.

You need the drive manual, #14
The MPI diagnostics manual, #36
The fuel system manual, #40
The exhaust system manual, #37

Cheers,

Chris.......

Re: Help with manual

Wow that's so complicated I still don't know what I need. and to make it worse I do know that manual #36 ECM diagnostics is also NLA. I just wanna know how to find all the drain plugs and basic preventative maintenance. I can figure it out without the books but I like to have them so I can see if the service department is trying to get to me when I have work done.

Re: Help with manual

Go to the link below and order the owners manual. They cover draining the cooling system, and has maintenance charts. With all the different draining systems Merc has developed, it's confusing for everyone.
