4.0 out of 5 stars Outboard Engines Review, May 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Outboard Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Great book. A good companion to the factory manual, however it does not replace the factory manual. This books gives general instructon, the factory manual give information specific to your engine.

This review is from: Outboard Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair, Second Edition (Hardcover)
The book is great for boaters and novice engine repair persons. I now have a working knowledge of outboard engines. My only criticism is that while the line drawings are reasonably sharp, the black and white photos are dark and murky and are just poor quality. perhaps the publisher should have specified a higher quality of paper.
