Which owners manual is best for non-mechanics?

[patrolcarr]

I was looking around online for an owners manual for my 2000 130 hp yamaha 2 stroke. I have come across 2 types, the first is an "Owners manual" and is about $30. The other type of manual seems to to be geared more for mechanics and is about $60. I was wondering if anyone had advice for which would be better for an amateur like me. Is the the mechanics manual too complicated for the non-mechanic? Does the "ownersmanual" type lack good detail? Im not sure which route to take but you folks havent done me wrong yet! Awesome site. Thanks to all--AGAIN!

I left out a small piece of information. There are 2 manuals offerd for the 130HP, one is described as "130-TRY".The other is"L-130TRY". What is the L for in the second description?
