I have an aging but loyal old 115hp Evinrude workhorse that has served me well for years and I want to be able to keep up with anything she needs. Still on the original water pump (telltale is strong so why mess with it?), original gears, original carb kit, all I've ever done is change the gear oil....original plugs even and she runs like a champ.
I think I might be feeling some subtle hints at a clutch dog getting tired but other than an inconsistent thud 3 seconds after shifting she has never slipped out of gear and certainly never complains at full throttle or heavy loading with skiers.
What is the best detailed shop manual to buy that will allow me to tackle as much as I'm willing with this motor as it continues to age gracefully? I'd love something like the Haynes series for cars with pictures and step by step instructions and not merely a table of torque settings as I'm unfamiliar with most of what I'm looking at but otherwise technically inclined....is there such a publication?
