Description

If like most do-it-yourselfers you've relied on a sketchy owner's manual or one of those abstruse shop manuals written for professional mechanics to keep your onboard running, here's an end to your frustration. This abundantly illustrated nonthreatening guide is filled with effective maintenance, repair, and advanced troubleshooting advice for two-cycle and four-cycle engines from 2 to 250 horsepower. Although outboard engines have become more reliable, they're also more sophisticated and require more than a passing knowledge of mechanics to troubleshoot and repair. Outboard Engines covers recent developments such as electronic ignition, oil injection systems, and four- stroke powerheads. Your fears about the reliability of your "finicky" outboard are over!

  • Outboard engines by sherman
In reading over Boating Magazine's Outboard engines, I found the book to be very excellent for the person who wants to try to learn about their outboard. Now if you need specific info. than you need to get a service manual for your particular engine. On the whole I thought the book was well illustrated and done by very knowledgeable writer(s). I highly recommend this book for a novice boat engine owner. ... show more

  • worth buying
Good basic information worth reading .It is not a engine manual but it will help the first time boat owner with important basics of outboard engines. Recommend it.

  • Good But,
Good info but is very basic and doesn't answer a lot of questions.

  • Outboard Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair
This is an excellent source of information. If you are a "first-time boat buyer" and are meticulous about the "health" of your boat, search no more! This is THE guide to use. This book is so filled with useful information that I've summarized parts of the book to create a maintenance guide for my boat. If you're not the type that likes to get your hands dirty, at least this book will give you the information to have an "intelligent" conversation with your mechanic! ... show more

  • Outboard Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Repair
it is exactly what I was looking for. It allowed me to break down and rebuild my motor and has allowed my wife and I to use our boat and it has given us a great deal of pleasure cruising around our lake.

  • Good info.
Now if it came with a repairman, it would be absolutely perfect. Must find time to use the info provided.

Five Stars All The Way. Although, it is not a boat motor manual itself. I sure learn a thing or three about motors I didn't know before. Very insightful....

  • Three Stars
Not the most user-friendly book if you're not already a mechanic.
