Mercruiser Stern Drive Shop Manual, 1964-1985: Stern Drive Shop Manual

The book has sufficient information for basic and intermediate service, however some of the illustrations and technical details are not as good as a factory Mercruiser service manual. Basic specifications are well organized (tabulated) and the wiring diagrams are pretty good. Basic techniques are covered however the manual would be better if alternative techniques are discussed. That is advanced stuff and would confuse people who are not as mechanically inclined. If you know your stuff, this is a basic reference guide for specs and diagrams but that's about all. If you are unfamiliar with Mercruiser drives and engines, the book is fairly informative regarding disassembly, inspection, and repair.
