A good manual
I have used tech manuals since my Navy days, then later at IBM, and in my experience as an air-cooled VW shop owner/operator. This manual has all the right stuff, including a lot of information that I will never use. I do not plan to overhaul the engine, thank you very much. The important areas like ignition system operation, timing, carburetor overhaul/adjustment, charging system, and specifications are all right there. These two-stroke engines are a breed all to their own (Like air-cooled VW) and nobody should attempt to work on them without some guidelines. This book tells you what you can (and some things you shouldn't) do for yourself. Even with the areas you shouldn't mess with it is good to have some understanding of how they work.

Not a good manual
Not very useful. Seloc manuals are not very informative for a technical shop

good but a gap for 30 hp
a comprehensive manual. for what it covers. the information on the lower unit was very helpful, clear idea of how to get to the oil seals and get them out and replaced. BUT when it came to spark plugs for my particular boat, I hit a blank wall. I have a 30 hp engine. all the tables started with 60 hp. so if you are replacing the plugs you will need to go somewhere else for plug spec and gapping.

1976 75hp Johnson on 1971 17ft Mako
Yep you read that right. Classics like these are not on the water much so I needed to learn what I could in a short amount of time. People write about Seloc not having all the ins and outs of there specific outboard, however I would recommend that they go back to the third grade of knowledge when you had to formulate logic.

Dont buy this. Buy a factory service manual for your motor
I was surprised at how vague this manual was. It tryst to cover way to broad a range of motors. I found a factory service manual and got what I needed to correctly rebuild my carb and do other service on my outboard. If you need detailed instructions and information do as I did and find your engines factory manual. It's worth every penny and costs less than 1 hour of a professional outboard mechanic.

Must have when doing your own maintenance.
Exactly what I needed. Just purchased and 1986 Glasstron with Johnson motor. Needed to clean the carburetors and had very detailed instructions. Had no problems understanding the step by directions. Glad I purchased the book and I know it will come in handy again.

Manual acceptable but never updated
This manual helps with most issues on outboards but the trouble shooting refers to test devices that were made when many of the outboards were first produced - like 1980. It's not like the motor has changed but if you try and follow their guide you will find references to test lights that have not been in production for over 20 years.The pages look like they are copies of copies. Some are getting a little faded.

Evinrude workshop manual review
An essential piece of equipment for any Evinrude / Johnson owner! It is a very comprehensive manual which has saved me a lot of money and enabled me to keep my Evinrude in great running order.Only small criticism is that the pictures are not great quality when compared to, for instance, a Haynes car manual.
