2005 Mercury 60 HP 4 Stroke EFI Outboard. I looked in iboats and google and can't find a manual for my motor. I am a boating newbie and must be missing something here. I see manuals that are close to what I think I need but they cut off at 2004 and my motor is a 2005 production. I want the book mainly for reference and very simple maintenance. I will leave the complicated stuff to a certified marine mechanic.

My owners manual is next to useless because it tries to cover so many product versions in one book. Suggestions info would be appreciated.

Re: Mercury 4 Stroke EFI 60 HP Shop Manuals??? Hi o-t You could check this, just in case it is any better than what you have.

The basic 40-50-60 owners manual, which is about as product specific as you are going to get. Pdf format, so it is useful for printing any individual pages you might want. This link is to the Brunswick (Mercury) Europe site, downloads section, owners manuals, outboard, 2005, Choose 8: 40-50-60: This is not a 'commercial' link, so the mods have not found it necessary to break it in the past. If broken, just copy and paste to your browser address bar. In practise, I think there are only minor variations between model year manuals, because the engines basically don't change that much. So, for the home user, not delving in too deeply, the basic advice changes very little.

There can be variations which are not documented, but which are not of major concern. For example, my F60 is 'non-bigfoot' but it has two vent plugs, like the bigfoot (4 1/4') gearcase.

I have a 2004 manual, in pdf, about 17mb overall (22 files, single file max. Size 2.3mb) If you care to p.m. Me your email address, I could copy it to you. It might help.

It is my source for torque settings. Btw, there is an interesting thread in trailers and towing on torqe & lubrication: I see the sense in this, especially for wheel nuts/bolts, but must admit I myself have a weakess for lubricating nuts/bolts, learnt from my father when maintaining agricultural implements. Hope this helps.

Btw, the experts here generally advise against getting an aftermarket manual such as a clymer or seloc, because the are too general, and not model specific. Re: Mercury 4 Stroke EFI 60 HP Shop Manuals??? Went to the loacl dealer yesterday to request manual and pricing. They did not want to sell me one.

(Discourage 'shade tree mechanics' if you would) Asked about fogging cylinders per owners manual Answer, it is not necessary for winter storage (6 months in these parts). Asked about changing spark plugs per owners manual. Answer, if the motor is running OK don't fix it. Asked about the computer tank test this spring. Answer, if the motor is running OK don't fix it. The guy at the dealer service desk said the motors are loaded with over heat, over rev, shut down, slow down, over rides that I should just leave things be until I get a problem. Then, he said, bring out the computers and tank test.

I have to give the guy credit. He could have sold me services I apparently don't need. I am still going to get my hands on a shop manual even if a little knowledge is a dangerous thing (smile,).

Does this outcome seem ordinary to the group?? Re: Mercury 4 Stroke EFI 60 HP Shop Manuals??? Boy do I feel dumb. I went to the site Don provided and just ordered the manual for direct home delivery.

Why I did not find this Mercury site earlier is a mystery to me. Rob, I found the site you mentioned earlier and when I typed in my ZIP the dealer I was speaking with did not pop up as a choice for delivery. Apparently all Mercury dealers are not 'parts express' members. Maybe Mercury is monitoring web posts about their products and making easier on us newbies (smile,). Thanks again all.

This service manual has been written and published by the Service Department of Mercury Marine to aid our dealers’ mechanics and company service per- sonnel when servicing the products described here- in. It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with the servicing procedures of these products, or like or similar products manufactured and marketed by Mercury Marine, that they have been trained in the recommended servicing procedures of these prod- ucts which includes the use of mechanics’ common hand tools and the special Mercury Marine or recom- mended tools from other suppliers. We could not possibly know of and advise the service trade of all conceivable procedures by which a ser- vice might be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results of each method. We have not under- taken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool, which is not recommended by the manufacturer, first must completely satisfy himself that neither his nor the products safety will be endangered by the service procedure selected.

All information, illustrations and specifications con- tained in this manual are based on the latest product informa tion available at the time of publication. As re- quired, revisions to this manual will be sent to all deal- ers contracted by us to sell and/or service these prod- ucts. It should be kept in mind, while working on the prod- uct, that the electrical system and ignition system are capable of violent and damaging short circuits or se- vere electrical shocks. When performing any work where electrical terminals could possibly be grounded or touched by the mechanic, the battery cables should be disconnected at the battery. Any time the intake or exhaust openings are exposed during service they should be covered to protect against accidental entrance of foreign material which could enter the cylinders and cause extensive inter- nal damage when the engine is started.

It is important to note, during any maintenance proce- dure replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as those removed. Numbers on the heads of the metric bolts and on the surface s of metric nuts indicate their strength. Ameri- can bolts use radial lines for this purpose, while most American nuts do not have strength markings. Mis- matched or incorrect fasteners can result in damage or malfunction, or possibly personal injury. There- fore, fasteners removed should be saved for reuse in the same locations whenever possible.

Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should be taken to select a replacement that matches the original. A marine power product is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that are measured in the ten thousands of an inch./mm.

When any product component is serv- iced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this manual, it should be understood that proper cleaning, and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is a part of the repair procedure. This is conside red standard shop practice even if not specif- ically stated. Whenever components are removed for service, they should be retained in order. At the time of instal- lation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when re- moved. Before raising or removing and outboard engine from a boat, the following precautions should be adhered to: 1.

Check that flywh eel is secur ed to end o f cra nk- shaft with a locknut and lifting eye is threaded into flywheel a minimum of 5 turns. Conne ct a hoist of s uitabl e st rength to t he lif ting eye.
