    BRAND NEW- HOT OFF THE PRESS OUTBOARD MAINTENANCE MANUAL!

    Hot off the Press: Outboard Maintenance Recommendations Manual. Part# 8M0186321.


    This manual can be special ordered through Rhonda, or any Authorized Mercury Dealer. It is available in ONLY Paper-Manual format.

    Covers all Current (and Recent) 4-Stroke Models, as well as the 3L Optimax models (including ProXS).

    Covers engine Specs, Recommended Maintenance, and has detailed procedures for a number of the common items you would be doing during that maintenance.

    Though written for Service Techs with a solid understanding of the engine and it's systems, I believe it would be an invaluable tool for a Do-It-Yourselfer as well.

    I like just because it's got the info for any current productions model right there at your fingertips!

    Does NOT cover any other engine models... sorry!

    Would it include much more than in the older factory service manual?

    We don't quote prices in the Forums as they change regularly.

    While I have a copy of this manual in my hands... it has apparently not yet been released (expect it will be soon). I'll update the post when that happens.

    Don, can you confirm this manual covers the 2-stroke ProXS models (SN 1B722451 in my case) ? Sounds like it based on your original post, but wanted to confirm. Is it an updated version of the 8M0122801 manual?

    Lastest of the ProXS Optimax models are covered. The 8M0122801 (older) manual supersedes to this one.
