4.0 out of 5 stars
It is a nice and useful book for amateur boaters ...,
By ERKAN TEZCANLI (ISTANBUL Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clymer Volvo Penta Stern Drive Shop Manual, 1994-2000 (Paperback)
I have just bought this book a couple of weeks ago and I have almost finished reading it. The book aims the amateur boaters who have basic mechanical skills and who are willing to learn their Volvo Penta engines like myself. It is a handbook which should be kept in the boat for emergency situations together with all other necessary tools and spare parts required to fix the boat. The print quality is nice and easily readable however I would prefer if there were more pictures and photos in the book which I believe is the only drawback. For those of you who want to play with your engine at a basic level, I would suggest you to buy this book.

This review is from: Clymer Volvo Penta Stern Drive Shop Manual, 1994-2000 (Paperback)
Being an ASE Cert. Master Auto Technician with over forty years experience, I was looking for a good shop manual for my boat. The engine is a Volvo 4.3 V6 with a Holley Marine carb...no big deal. The outdrive is other than what I've had experience (brand) with and I felt it would be a good thing to have specific repair information for it. The Internet (Marine Parts Express) gave more information (for free) on what I was looking for than this "Paper Paperweight" did. I found (in my opinion), the information it contained to be generic and useless. For the unskilled it might serve a purpose, for me, it's a paperweight.

Not what you need.,
By A. T. Anchor "never met a boat I didn't like" (South Jersey) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clymer Volvo Penta Stern Drive Shop Manual, 1994-2000 (Paperback)
If you are looking for a marine repair manual you probably have some mechanical skill but not so much you want to completely rebuild right down to the crankshaft. This book does the exact opposite. Wasted pages on the basics of four cylce combustion (who is there that would not already know but still care?), chapters on using micometers on everything from pistons to bearings (something usually only done in rebuild shops). But there is very little information the average boat owner can use. Little or incorrect information on replacing risers, pumps or stern drive removal.
The Seloc manual is a much better choice although it has many of the same sins, just less so. The Seloc also has much more complete tune up information. The factory manuals have better illustrations than either manual but are harder to find.
