Shop service manual on cd?

Can you take a look at this link on ebay. Is this the same as the oem shop manual just on cd?

anyone have any experience with these? I need a manual for my 2003 bf200

Should be the same shop manual. The publishers prefer to sell them on CD as it's much easier and cheaper to mass produce and they can send addendums out by email. I have purchased a few service manuals on CD (not this specific manual), but they are the same item.

I seriously doubt it's OEM, most likely they are either Seloc or Clymers.

Just in case you are wondering, those are not legal copies... They are copied discs, and are often actually original OEM. Buying it through legal channels would cost $$$$.

If they are like the Seadoo manual I bought - its an illegal copy of the factory FSM CD

You could also probably find it online for free.

Most likely a copyright violation that is illegal and immoral.

I wasted some bux on a dvd of a vehicle manual once. It was terrible and only slightly more useful than a SWAG, and also, it turned out, illegal.

Don't waste your time on this scam. It would be like trying to service your outboard with a picture of a wrench. Buy the real thing from Honda.

It may even be just a .pdf scan of the paper manual. Poor quality and illegal.
