I have a 1996 502 mpi/bravo 1 set up. I'm looking to buy a maintenance manual for it. Should i buy the million dollar Mercury one, or is there another brand that is preferred. Looking for a place to buy it and p/n's if anyone has them. Thanks

go to ebay and buy the factory workshop manual... infinitely better than the aftermarket stuff.

I did a search on ebay for Mercruiser Maintenance Manual, and got zilch.

How about this?

The other ones i have found are clymer or sentec or something of the sort.

when i bought mine i was unsure of what i needed... so i bought both... turned out mine were the later ones. so i have merc manuals 16 ( 2 volume ) gm v8 454 /502 if they are what you want .

are they for both the bravo one and the mpi 502?

link to factory. You have to buy 2 for engine and drive.

motors only. merc manual #16 2 phone book sized volumes

Hit steve up for his #16 set (two seperate books) and look around for #11 for the Bravo. When I bought mine off ebay I found most results using "mercuiser 11" or "mercruiser manual 11" or "bravo 11".
If you're patient, you can find a deal.

Also, I think #11 has been printed a bunch of times. It might be nice to have one of the "newer" ones if possible.
