You could try calling Formula Tech Support - they are very helpful. With luck they may have one, or at least a PDF file you can print as needed. Good luck and enjoy the boat.

I believe Formula has some downloads on their website. Try the dropdown menu under "owner" (?).

thanks,
I actually am looking for O & M's or service manuals. I live in ohio-put a deposit down on the 98 353 (w/502's and vacue flush head) from lake cumberland marina and am recieving the boat on the 13th (or there abouts). I'll be sure to take some pic's when it shows up @ the marina and post them.

As far as O & M manuals, you don't get a whole lot. The most informative thing that was included in the books that I received when I bought my two used Formaula's (91' 292 SR-1 and 93' 34PC) were all the 8-1/2" x 11" drawings from Thunderbird of all the plumbing, elctrical wiring diagrams and schematics.

The other manual stuff you get (usually in 2 three ring binders) is just the OEM stuff on the a/c, the gen (you can find that online), the toilet, water pumps and other misc stuff.

Hope this helps. Congrats on the new to you 353. I'm sure someone here has the books/manuals that you are looking for, and with the right approach, will probably be willing to copy the stuff for you for the cost of the copies.

Sounds like you're looking for the Mercruiser repair manual. As Treads said, Formula doesn't include that stuff in the owner's book they give you. You'd need to go on-line and find a Merc (or other) manual for engine/drive info.
