Anyone have a PDF service manual for the 225 Optimax?

Season is closing in and I like to print one to throw in the truck for a "just in case" situation.

Thanks!

Thank you very much! I'm going to print this off to keep in a kit in the truck. That way should something give me issue, hopefully I can diagnose it and get it back up and going quickly.
Spark plugs, coils, alternator, maybe a tracker valve, etc stuff that can go wrong at a tourney and I can get it back up and going.

I haven't gotten it back out yet since the hard water just went away, but I plan to in the next couple weeks when it warms up again.
Last fall it ran out good, I'm just trying to tweak the set up on the boat to get it to get on plane.
I have a 25M prop that is 15 1/8" which seems to be to big of a diameter. It BARELY gets out of the hole with me and full fuel. Full livewells and it almost won't. I'm sure another person and it won't. BUT I backed out of it at 67mph because I was running out of lake.
I borrowed a 25 Laser which is 13 3/4 and it gets out of the hole OK but then has excessive slip at maxes out RPM at like 56mph.
I'm trying to track down a 25 Tempest to borrow and test with to make sure that's the right one to get. That one is 14.6" so I think it will be the right combination. A buddy has a 26 Tempest, so I may try that and see what it does.

I'm at the guess and check, but expensive part of the testing process. LOL
