Mercury 115 saltwater optimax???

Hi, wondering if anyone has a workshop manual for this engine in PDF that would be kind enough to share with me.

Also is this engine just a optimax with some form of up rated cooling system to cope with salt water? I'm not really sure, engine is 2005 model and can't really seem to find much info on it from the tinterweb. Or where to get parts and service items from?

Any help/advise greatly appreciated.

Cheers

When you download a service manual, don't forget to use your OBM serial number to get the correct manual, as there is probably some minor differences, to other optimax OBMs.

If you have the parts list, the anodes are on the g/housing section,

It's an Opti with a saltwater badge on. As far as I'm aware, any meaningful lack of tolerance to saltwater ended in about 1990 with the last Clamshells.

Yeah that's what I thought, just a marketing ploy I would imagine, cheers.

Not found a parts diagram for it yet - maybe need a chat with mercury dealer or pacer marine or somewhere like that.
