Are the Seloc repair manuals any good? Looking for the best 'good to have' book on the semi-basics. Not wanting to get the service manual volumes (& volumes & volumes). Just want to hear the general concensus on them.
In my limited experience with a 5.0 Mercruiser and Alpha 1, they're better than Clymer, but not as good as factory manuals. You can download PDF versions of certain Merc manuals. Look at the "Adults Only" stickies.
Seloc's are fine. Most on here dont like them, but i do.
There are tons of manual's in main sections of the engine sections.
From what I have seen tho, the seloc is just a photo copy of the factory manual for the most part.

Unfortunately, the manuals were pulled 2 days before I got the boat. I 'missed the boat' on the manuals. If you (or anyone) grabbed them, I would sure appreciate a copy for the Mercruisers. I have an '84 170/488 with an Alpha I Gen I
