Types of Mercury manuals

1. Factory Service Manuals (FSM)

These manuals explain in detail how to service, repair and maintain products of individual manufacturers. An FSM for outboard repair essentially covers a broad area including introduction, maintenance, service specifications, engine, fuel system, electrical and ignition, cooling system, safety, power head, gear case, midsection, trim and tilt, index and troubleshooting table.

2. Repair Manuals

These go into more specifics than Factory Service Manuals. They are usually designed as how-to-do-it materials for professional mechanics but are also used by DIY mechanics. They provide instructions in a simple, easy to understand way that helps the user to maintain and repair their boat motor.

Repair manuals also include additional information such as advanced troubleshooting, outboard disassembly and reassembly, specifications of machine upgrades and colored wiring illustrations.

3. Owner’s Workshop Manual    

These are also known as shop manuals and are typically authored by approved mechanics. Workshop manuals are an invaluable tool to those without a professional mechanic background.

They have instructions on the maintenance and repair of the engine. The user can learn how to disassemble and reassemble the product as per factory specifications.  They include step by step instructions, which are easy to follow. There are photographs, diagrams and illustrations as well. Even a user with little to no mechanical knowledge can diagnose their boat engine and try to fix it before calling a professional mechanic.

4. Owner’s Manual

This is usually given with the purchase of the outboard motor. The instructional booklet covers specification such as fuel type, fluid capacities and replacement circuits. It also shows the location of the controls and describes the schedule of maintenance.

Getting a Mercury 40, 50 or 60 hp ELPT repair manual will enable you to get the most out of your product as you can repair and maintain it with relative ease. After reading an outboard repair manual, you can undertake with confidence most repairs.
