| Does anyone out there know where I can get a manual on an older 25hp Mercury outboard? It was purchased around 1986 and nobody in my area wants to work on it. |

There are Clymers and Seloc both have "manuals" which cover this vintage Merc. They are somewhere between an owners manual and a shop manual--usually enough to do the routine and replacement maintance. This vintage motor is fairly simple to work on, and you should have no problems, short of a complete rebuild--then you may want to send it off. I had a 1986 25 hp Merc and it was a good work horse. I put over 1000 hours on it and it was still going strong when I sold it.

You can also check out I-boat forums and other outboard motor forums.
There are lots of experienced people who are glad to answer questions about the older motors. A good resource for help and parts, etc.
I bought a Seloc manual online for my 87' 9.9 Merc and it came with one year online help/reference.
