Trouble finding a service manual for two-stroke Mariner 25

Just got my first boat and motor. I want to be sure and take care of it, so I'm trying to find a factory service manual. I've found some manuals on line, but all of the mercury/Mariner manuals I've found for the 25 hp two-stroke are for serial numbers starting with 0G. Mine starts with 0C22, which according to Mariner's website, makes it a 1990 model. I've searched ebay. It also shows plenty of 0G serial number manuals, but none for 0C.

Plug in your serial number

That only got the parts catalog. Thanks though.

Any Mercury dealer will have a phone number for service manuals. No experience with anything but automotive but they run about $100-$150 for Ford or Chrysler.

I have a whole bunch of old Mariner manuals at work, but nothing for the 25's. Mostly 90hp and up. Should be able to find one....even a seloc brand manual would be better than nothing. Mercury may not offer a new manual for your motor and if that's the case, you'd have to find an aftermarket one.

you can call mercury/mariner service & support and order one, but when I checked for my 1984/85 mariner 20hp it would have been $75

This website is SLOW but that would be your manual. You can't download it all but it looks like you can print the pages you need.

Best of luck with it :roll:

Thanks Cliff 58!
