Which Manual do I need? Mercruiser 3.0L

[enginesilo]

I have a 2005 Searay with the Mercruiser 3.0 engine. Which manual do I need so I can work on it myself? I want to make sure I am changing the oil correctly, winterizing it, summerizing, etc.

Is the one on iBoats the one I need? I see Part #3208 covers all 2001-2006 engines and drive units, including transmissions. Includes carburated and fuel injected engines.

Is this the manual for me?

That is an after aftermarket manual, not a good choice, and don't tell the boss I said that.
Go to the Adults only sticky at the top of this forum and download the OEM service manual. You need number 26 for your engine.

Thanks for the tips. So is this a paid download, or a freebie? Just trying to understand if I am in the right spot.

Got'cha. At first I clicked it and it brought me to a paid area, but I then copied out the URL and it worked as planned.

So does this explain everything from changing the oil, to draining the lower unit gear oil, winterizing, etc?

So that manual is right for my 2005?

Another question, do I have an Alpha I Gen II, or a plain Alpha I?

Like I said in my first reply, #26 for your engine, You have a Gen II drive, so you need manual 14 for your drive.
