5.0 out of 5 stars I learned....., July 20, 2005

By	J. Andrews "Cactus the Cooler" (Reno, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Besides being completly through on nearly every detail of my spcific engine, I learned doezens of useful and time saving techniques. Some of which I passed on to my mechanic and he too benefited from this book. I was able to feel confident in my mechanic, knowing what he was doing to my Engine and Why he was doing it...I never felt ripped off. I understood why each task and repair was performed. I feel i could have done the work myself if i had the tools.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not "Outboards for Dummies", April 5, 2007

By	V. Hardman (Euless, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been doing my own car repairs for many years now. I have purchased the Hayes books to get information about my automobiles. I like them because they use plain language and LOTS of illustrations. This book (Seloc) has the illustrations, but it lacks some of the clarity. I don't recommend this book for the average shade tree mechanic. It is loaded with technical jargon that I had to read serval times to get my brain around. The book does take great care in making sure that all parts are identified. There are many illustrations with call-outs to define each part during a procedure.

The only other critisism I have for the book is that it is very broad in the models that it covers. Procedures are mixed together for different motors making it rather confusing. You have to know quite a lot about your particular motor before starting to make sure you are following the correct procedure.

Alot in this book, I'm rebuilding a mercury Outboard and so far it's been a lifesaver. I have no experience with outboard motors and this book has helped me alot.
