Tried the computer at home and was able to print what I needed. It was from this site http://boatinfo.no/lib/mercruiser/manuals/mercruiser41.html Thanks for your help! Jeff

Yep, it looks like it is. I can't get it on my note3, but will try it at home. I may have been mistaken. If I read correctly manual #25 covers my engine as expected and manual #41 (which also looks like its available for free ) is a supplement which covers the tks carburetor.

Thanks for the info. So far looks like the people selling on eebaay, are fudging a bit, because #25 doesn't look like its the correct model year. I wil have to try a few downloads at home. Jeff

Hi all, I have a question on the Mercury Marine factory service manual. I have a 2009 4.3 tks 185 sport I need the manual for. I want the FSM as opposed to Clymer. My past experience sifting through details in the Clymer because they compile too many models together is not what I am interested...

Lol that's great. Congrats to the op on the boat! So true on looking for the next, I have had my eyes focused on a late 90's Vdrive Mastercraft since we bought the SR. You read me like a dam book, lol

He did..... and im dying laughing I have nothing against any boat out there, to each there own, get out on the water and have fun. Even a guy in a little jon boat with a 5 hp motor is having a good time because hes out on the water.

Agree 100% . My wife and I have a 4 yr old and 11 month old and the many trips throughout the boating season are indeed priceless imo, even if we were unfortunate to have an unforeseen expense.

Sorry to hear about the problem, any updates?

Good times, nice job on the video! Boating season is upon us, we have many trips planned this season, can't wait.

Cool, thanks for the info. If you remember by chance, I would be interested in seeing a picture or hearing your findings on the floats and maybe the whole carb condition in general once you dig into it.

Are they a foam type of float? Sorry, not meaning to hijack the thread, but we have an 09 185 4.3tks (163 hrs ). Out of curiousity, how many hours do you have? But time itself and not hours I suppose can harm the floats. I am familiar with motorcycle carbs. Just wondering if I can expect any...

+1, best of luck and God Bless

Thx!

Hmmm, off the top of my head. Bangs Lake wauconda, the fox river chain ( pistakee, grass, petite, channel, fox, and catherine lake. A bit further, twin lakes, lake Geneva, delevan, csstle rock, the illinois river. Lots of options from 30 minutes to 1.5 hrs depending on the amount of time you have
