Force Outboard Manual question

[89sammy]

Is a old original Factory manual better than the new non oem manuals. I found this manual and was thinking about buying it ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=330297749680

ebay item 330297749680

Is it worth that much or not that much? It is for a 89 force 125
THANKS

Re: Force Outboard Manual question

The manual looks like it's for " L " drives, do you have an L drive or and outboard?

I'd much rather pay $50 or an OEM manual that covers your specific engine, than a $25 generic manual that covers everything from 1964 through 1999, 4HP to 150HP...

An OEM Manual for your exact engine is far, far better than any aftermarket manual.

A manual for some other Force engine is probably useless.

Yep! My Factory manual for the 1988 85 and 125 Force beats the hell out of all the others as far as clarity, detail, and instructions. --No comparison.

Hi
The listing says it is for the 85-125hp...and the piucture is not the real item just a look alike. I sent the seller a question and it is for the 85-125hp

I think Imight save my money....i already have a cheap manual that has worked out ok so far

Re: Force Outboard Manual question

Recently bought a Force outboard and looking for a manual too. Where can I get such a model specific workshop manual?

Bought a manual on ebay, it's ok but not very detailed. Tried looking for it on this forum but no luck, it's for a '96 Force 40 Hp 2cil 2 stroke.

Any help appreciatet
