service manuals for 1978 Mercruiser 120?

[Neutron68]

Is there a source for inexpensive (or free) Mercruiser service manuals (paper or PDF scan on CD), that cover the 1978 Mercruiser 120 engine?

I've been told the SELOC manuals are not as good as the Mercury manuals, so I'm seeking the Mercury.

here is one you can use on line, and print but i don't think it can be downloaded.

if you go back to the library they have lots of manuals there

So I apologize for not turning everybody onto this when I found it, But you have it now.

If a guy really wanted to have a copy on their computer, there is this thing called web whacker from blue squirrel.com
I have never personally used it but my sister-in-law was doing some stuff seems like it worked okay.

Workin' on it now ....

Edit ..

I can do it in IE, but not an easy task to save and view ...
Will try Chrome, but think it will be same head aches to view ...

Edit #2 ...
There is a option to print, would give you a hard copy then ...
Make sure it's big enough on page before printing 400 pages though ...

If you have access to a larger printer, do 2 pages per sheet, 2 sided...you'll end up with 100 pages of paper holding the 400 page manual.

I saw that and thought I could convert it to a PDF but couldn't do it and I wasn't going to print 392 pages.

Anyone getting this to work? 

The first step falls flat, in Chrome 29.0.1547.76m.
Right-clicking on an empty area of a boat manual does NOT bring up the context menu, as stated in the how-to.

I did it in IE10 ...
Cleared "Temp Internet Files" then loaded page.
There was about 10 files listed and each one had one section of manual (about 10 to 20 SWF files).
Saved them to a folder I created in "Downloads" and clicked on one of them ...
Windows 7 didn't know what program to use to open/view file so I choose Internet Explorer ...
Worked ... But was very small, to small to read, went to bottom right corner of IE10 and increased zoom to 200 %.
Readable but a pain to do for ever page ...

Easier to get a ream of paper and a new black ink cartridge and print it out, or bring your laptop/tablet out to shop with you.
