Repair manuals, which ones better?

[ShoestringMariner]

So I picked up a 1990 Evinrude eight horse and a 19 1976, 70 horse Johnson in the last week.
i’m looking for a manual to cover these motors. And it looks like I have a choice between Seloc and Clymer.

I bought a Seloc manual for my 76 Mercury 650 and found information on every other mercury motor of the era except MINE. Luck of the draw perhaps but I was disappointed.

Generally speaking though, do you folks have a preference for being the most comprehensive?

I suspect most will agree, neither worth the paper they're printed on....

Factory service manuals can be gotten from Ken Cook

Save your Seloc and Clymer manuals for spare toilet paper.

Doesn't work well for that either, Too slippery, and a paper cut could render one a Eunuch
