Motor information

I just bought my first boat, a 20' ProCraft Superpro with a Mercury 225 HP motor. The motor has a custom paint job, so it does not have any model information that is outwardly visible. I have located the motor serial #. Does anybody know where I can locate information such as the motor's Model # and year? I also want to find some type of manual for servicing / maintaining the motor. Where is the best place to get a service manual? I don't plan on doing much of the repair work myself, but I don't want any expensive repair bills because I didn't keep up on maintenance.
Thanks
Mark
