Optimax 115 Service Manual 2008 ish

[rads]

As above really, I would like to get hold of a service / workshop manual for a 2008 Mercury Optimax 115.

We had a problem with the lever on the throttle body sticking a little, and knife and forked our way through the repair, but would much rather have an official book of words to give guidance and confidence!

See, to be a few copies floating about on dodge looking download sites, and some on ebay. Happy to pay, but don't want to be ripped-off, so has anyone got a known good supplier?

Shockingly bad form, replying to one-self, but for the sake of posterity, this is what I now know.

Hard copy manuals are almost a thing of the past. Manuals really only routinely available to dealers via an extra-net system, so not available to users.

It is possible to order a physical manual, but few and far between, and expensive, probably £60 ish.

Part number for the manual I need is 90-889785 (-R01 for very latest release).

Searching on this part number does bring up a few sites with a (chargeable) download version of the manual, but I suspect these breach Mercury's copyright, so will not be posting links.
