Typical of Clymer outboard manuals-I have found this manual very useful. I'm not that mechanical and I appreciate the manual's attention to detail and for the numerous pictures and diagrams.

I feel the book was written ok...just OK. I feel the biggest problem is that its too broad. Just when you are finally figuring out what your reading... its about the wrong engine size or year. I will have to admit that its probably as good as its going to get for a repair manual not bought from the dealer. Bottom line good for info, just not for a rebuild

Except for having to jump around to find things, I was able to rebuild my Johnson 110 hp motor with it and it runs great. This is the first time I ever tried to do this and without the manual, I would have been lost. There were a few things that I had to figure out myself, but all in all this manual helped a great deal. I would recomment it to those wishing to try it as I did.

One of the better repair manuals I've ever used. The large majority of the procedures are explained well enough that a person with moderate ability should be able to perform with no problem. The manual includes an adequate number of pictures and diagrams to help you figure out which screw to turn, etc. Best of all, this book does not overly generalize between models and years. My motor is kind of an odd duck being a 1988 88Hp and it is specifically covered where needed including pictures for my engine. Of course, some of the more advanced trouble shooting techniques require special tools and equipment, but you can't blame the book for that. The electrical diagrams could be a little more detailed. They tend to be basic sketches that show what part connects to what, but don't provide much insight into how they work. Adding notes to the sketches such as running voltages or noting the running position of switches (such as "normally open") would be helpful. It would also be helpful to have more narrative on how the ignition and electrical systems work. Over all, a very good repair manual and well worth the money. I'm glad I bought this rather than some of the stuff on ebay which is likely nothing more than a compilation of exploded views downloaded from the internet.

The book is a must have for Johnson motors. I am not the most mechanically inclined individual in the world, but if I can read it I can do it and now my motor is running like a top.

the manual is very easy to follow and the price was great.
the shipment arrived in excellent condtion also.

bought new and this book is very informative and really good with explaning the repairs that i needed to do on my motor. Very well put together.

This book was very help full when working om my 1983 115 hp johnson I also had to rewire the trim..

I was very pleased with the purchase and found fast the information I needed. Some photos extra on details were missing, but from a local parts store was able to get a break down and fabricate necessary item save one.

Manual was not much help. I was looking for detailed instructions on my 60HP 1989 Evinrude fuel system and the manual came up far short. Manual is also confusing as it tries to cover too many years and models of Evinrude.
