Mercury 30HP EFI 4st

I have just bought a second hand RIB with the above.
Engine is either 2005 or 2006.
Has anybody any manuals/literature on this engine - either that I could buy, or borrow and copy. I would refund any postage charges incurred.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you were able to download from manufacturers website a while ago but haven't had the need to look recently.

will have a look around my place and see what I have on those engines . are you after the owners manual and workshop manual ?

GerryP · 20 February 2009, 17:25

Either or both!
Right now I have nothing - so anything is good. Thanks

Give me a PM with your e mail address and i will email them to you. It will only be the owners manual, but its got most things in it that you will need. If you can let me know the serial number too so i send you the right manual.

Many thanks to-
Turbodiesel / Outboardtech & K&S
For very quick and helpful information and leads. Thanks guys.
If a workshop manual is available, I'm still interested.
(The download version is more of an owners manual)

The workshop manual is available its part number is 90-899182 you should be able to order it through your local dealer. The free downlaod is just the owners manual.

yip as TURBO said that website has only owners manuals . I may have another one . I will have a good look today for you .

outboardtech · 22 February 2009, 09:23

give you an idea your local dealer will charge you I would say 50 quid for that book PLUS VAT .

Thanks for the info.
I am about to put the new RIB in the water for the first time this week (Tide, wife and work (extra hols) willing).
Completed all usual checks today, but couldn't get water from the tell tale!
Had a good luck around, and the only outlet I can see (on right hand side when looking towards rear of RIB) is via a tube that eventually leads to the top of the carb (looks like part of emmisions control)?
I can blow through this so it is not blocked.
Engine water intake looks clean also.
Daft question, but is this the tell tale?
[or part of engine mixbreathing/combustion control?]
The engine was run with mufflers and a garden hose at tick over revs possibly increasing to 2000rpm tops with full tap pressure. Not other signs of overheating/engine distress.
No other issues with engine.
I guess my query is: will the tell tale appear at increased revs and/or when travelling through the water. Or is my daft question not daft and this is not the tell tale?
I have another RIB with a 40HP 2st Mariner and under the same conditions I get water from the tell tale.
I am looking at water impellor inspection/replacement.
Any views?
Thanks in advance for your shared experience.

Water impellor completely shot to bits!
Replaced - now ok.
Water to top of carb - part of fuel cooler arrangements.
Amazing what a manual can do!!
Thanks to everybody who PM'ed me and helped.
