tlread - Check out the link below to see if this view only manual will help. You just need to plug in the year and hp. I have a 1997 40tlrv(remote steering)and this manual seems to help me from time to time. It may not be exactly what you are looking for but it may help. See Link:

pisses like a champ, i just ran it for the first time in 3 months after i cleaned the carbs. When i pulled the carbs the bottom carb was full of oil and so was the bottom of the air filter. When i cranked it it look like that scene from “Rookie of the Year” when the smoke ws so thick u couldnt see the boat. It was that bad. The only thing i can think of was that it being tilted up for so long the oil leaked into the carb and into the cylinders. The amount of smoke eventually lessened. How much do oil sensors run and how hard are they to replace!!!
