Outboard Motors Maintenance and Repair Manual

Nice General intro Book for out board motors. I bought this one based on reviews and am not disappointed. I have some mechanical knowledge- but bought my 1st boat a wanted to have some resource to go to- like the autos Chiltons. It's detailed enough to explain marine technology and operation. Lot of detailed photos. If you wanted to do any greater maintenance you'd need a Model specific Manual.

This is a great book, but not a book for the novice. I'm a novice. What it did do, however, was familiarize me enough with my engine so when the guy came to repair it, I "knew" what he was talking about. And, I could stand around and nod my head when folks used words like "impeller." Can i repair an engine? Not yet. But with this book, and looking over someone's shoulder, I should be able to some day.The book talks about two stroke and four stroke engines, and for the novice, this can sometimes be confusing as they switch back and forth, and I was sometimes confused if they were talking about "my" engine or the other size engine. That's just me. I know that when I KNOW it won't matter, but for now... I wish there was one book for four stroke motors, and one for two stroke -- but no big deal.

I really liked this book. Borrowed it from library first and then bought one for myself.Good info on why and how to. Clear descriptions of steps, excellent pictures to clarify. Not specific to any particular brand of motor.

Very basic, not too detailed, maintenance book. You can find more detailed maintenance items for free on YouTube

Worth having.

Is a nice book to know where to start with your motors. I bought it because I occasionally help my uncle finding motors parts to buy and most of the time I don’t even understand half of what he was trying to say. This book is awesome for people like me that don’t have any background on boats/motors; plus the illustrations are pretty good.

Good book of descriptions and instructions but the pictures are too dark. I have to go to the Internet or You Tube for better pictures. But I’m glad I bought it. Lots of good information.

Came quick and was as described.
