The step step instructions and information are well organized and easy to follow. As a back yard mechanic, I was well served by this book.

Good pictures, item by item guide.
If you're working on your own motor
start here.

Save yourself some money, or at least
familiarize yourself with the life blood
of your boat. It will help you if you do
go to a shop. You will be able to relate
and talk to the mechanics intelligently.

If I get another boat, I'm buying a guide from
these guys right away.

I've never rebuilt a carb before and used this manual to successfully rebuild a carb on a 1986 Merc 20 HP. Clear instructions and relevant pictures. I can now proceed with confidence onto other repairs/tune ups.
