Hi,
I'm just wondering what the general consensus is on shop manuals.
I haven't had to do anything major to my outboard, so I've been referencing the service manual I can view on the boatinfo.no library website.
I saw a post or two saying that those have incorrect specs and or procedures for some engines.
I see that manuals are made by Clymer and Seloc (I'm guessing the boating worlds equal to what Chilton's manuals were to cars)...
Personally, I have a '71 Johnson 50. the Johnson Evinrude site directs me to Ken Cook Co for an official manual for my engine.
Well THAT is certainly what I'd like, but there is no indication as to what the manual IS that I'd get.
Would I get the manual I can currently see online? (Rhetorical, but if anyone DOES know... lol)
So I ask, What is the most reputable and reliable manual IF not "Original Factory" documentation?
Thanks in advance!
