STUPID QUESTION

well as all of you know i sold the flite.....when i bought that boat the first thing i did was went and bought a "seloc" manuall for the motor on it. it helped me a ton for the little things that i could do here at home! well now that i have the new boat and the bbc i was wondering if there was a recomended book-manual? something to get me more familiarized with what i have? i have never owned an i/o before and at that something like a bbc....i do have a great mechanic that i trust and is very knowligable about this motor but i would like to know more for my sake! i cant keep calling big red with stupid questions:shakehead: thanks for the help though:thumb: anyways, do you guys know of any books-manuals out there that might give simple specs and such for zz502? i have looked online and found some but would rather not spend that kinda money unless i know it will benefit:eyecrazy: and you guys would know what i will need to come up to speed:poke: thanks guys:cheers:
 
When I go out to my storage unit I check to see if I have a spare, I'll be heading out there tommorow to put the rest of my interior in. I'll call you if I have one. Did you ever figure out the the issue with flushing the motor on the garden hose?
 
You have a problem, just about everything under your hatch is after market. The only merc manual you can buy to help would be one on the drive. I can give you your engine specs.

Even just about all your accessories are different

(thats why my mechanic did not get the call about it in the first place);) not that he doesnt know his stuff but obviuosly you know your motors, and its close to what you had!

Squirt gun? Tough talker now that you got the ponies in your boat! :poke:

Who said I was doggin' ya??? Just pokin' fun man thats all! You feel exactly how I felt when I went from the Evinrude 50hp to the Merc XR2...CLUELESS! (At least thats how I was!) Nothing better then to have a good teacher at hand....Sounds like Big Red is exactly who you need on your side! :bigthumb:

You've got more balls then me just for buying the dang thing! LMAO!



I'd still whoop your arse, big guy! ;)
 
I have my 1986 C-10 book on top of my mercruiser book. Between the two I have found out almost everything I need to know. What I cant find, I ask people that do know (MK or my neighbor)!
 
i own a selco book for my bbc. works great for stock engines. wont help much on some performance stuff. there are other books at amazon.com for the performace tuning.
