Unable to find Factory/OEM Outboard Service Manual for 1984 Mercury 50 E

I just recently acquired a 1984 Bass Tracker Tournament TX 17' boat, with a 1984 Mercury 50 E Outboard. (Serial #: 06539458)

I need to work on the Engine and have a Clymer Shop Manual on its way... However, I would really like to find and purchase the Factory/OEM Service Manual as well, but after countless days and hours of searching the internet it is still not found... :(

I continually get directed to Instant Download Sites, saying "We have what you are looking for... Just pay $$$$ and Click the Download Button..." NO Thanks... I want the actual Service Manual not a photocopied version of who knows what manual or worse a download file with a "Free" Virus included...

After trying countless different wording combinations I am not sure what else to try... It appears that all the Genuine Service Manuals have a 90-###### number in the lower right corner, but without knowing which one is for my engine this does not help either...

Does anyone know where I can go to Correctly Identify the 99-###### number or whatever else can be used to find the Actual Factory Service Manual? (i.e. Not After Market or Fake Download site. One similar to the image attached...) I am beginning to think that a Factory Service Manual never existed for this Year Model. ;)

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi there, you're looking for Merc part number 90-86135--5 "/1-593 < sometimes used to depending on where you look".

First scroll to the bottom for look up,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercury-Mar...-Cyl-and-50-60-70-3-Cyl-86135-5-/321175455985

Then order from one of these,

Or go new running the number 861355 here, http://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_details.php?pnum=MER++90+86135++5

Hope this helps, good luck.:)
 
Boat_tech,
You are awesome... That is exactly what I was looking for...

I am going to assume you knew this because you are an "Expert" and/or have access to special resources, rather than assume my internet searching skills just suck... Wait, don't answer that... I am not sure I can handle the truth... :)
Many Thanks... Have a great day.
