Overall, a very powerful and concise manaul that details complete service, maintenance and other repair issues for sea-doo watercraft. Like many other Clymer manuals, it gives you great pictures and easy to read descriptions to get you through the toughest situations. It's such a small investment in comparison to what I could have spent taking it to the shop each time it broke down! -- I highly recommend this book to anyone needing a repair manual for sea-doo watercraft!

I am new to the whole PWC thing and recently purchased two used Sea-Doo's Both are 1996 GSX's, which are agile and very quick. I had a problem with one of the units that left me stranded for a few hours forcing me to tow one unit with the other. I attempted to find out why the unit had just stop working and found that I had no spark. I was forced to take the unit to a dealer for service which cost me 3 weeks of usability and $700.00. If I had just purchased the book, I could have paid only the $250.00 for the part and been done with it. I now own the manual and the dealers will not take me for a ride anymore! The book is more than enough information to help fix any problem you may have as well as just tune the system a bit. The only requirement is some common sense. After being taken to the cleaners by the dealers or before, buy the manual!

I've seen a fair amount of shop manuals, and this is one of the better ones. Their are plenty of labeled picutres, and the instructions are clear to guide you through what ever task needs to be done.

this manual is savin me thousands on the maintnance i am able to perform on all my jetskis as a result of the easy to follow instructions in the shop manual...i would personally recomend this shop manual to anyone who owns a seadoo jetski and wants to understand how it works and how to repair/maintain it theirselves.....mike d

The manual helped me fix a jet pump issue that likely would've cost me $150 to $200 at the marina. It was a $5 part and a couple of hours of work. They tell you and show you step by step how to do any repairs. The manual gives you confidence to do most routine maintenance and repairs. For $25, its worth it. You earn your money back the first time you use it.

This shop manual is a must if you want to know how to properly diagnose, maintain, and repair your older SeaDoo. I have a 95 SPX and this manual has saved me a lot of money doing stuff myself.

If you own a Seadoo between these years and you like to do it yourself then this is the book you need. It has good detailed pictures and illustrations. Great book.

This is a very complete manual, similar to a Chiltons or Motor's manual for automotive.

Covers years 1988 thru 1996, this book covers most of the Sea Doos from the "Golden Years". Although the newer units are faster, they spend far more time in the shop, and without some very expensive tools, special computers, and meters, you won't be fixing these yourself. Yes, Sea Doos do require some special tools, but these are available either used, or for a fairly fair cost. My unit is a 1996 GTI, and I really do have some fun on the cheap! This book is a great resource, and will clear up most questions that will arise. Do your own work, and you can really save some money, and know that the work is really done well. Clymer manuals are tops! Lots of photos, too, aid in getting the work done.

A very detailed & useful manual. Very nice & clear images are a definate plus. Better than expected electrical information. GOOD BUY!
