  • Really helpful
Great information. I don't much about motor mechanics, but with this guide I feel much more confident about taking the dinghy out by myself.

  • Must have on any outboard motor!!
Great to keep in your dry box just in case!! Must have!!

  • Very little of value
This is marketed to look like a book but buyer beware - this is a simple fold out pamphlet. It is certainly well designed and easy to read but the content would be valuable only to a person with absolutely zero experience. IMO, the checks and fixes are completely obvious and provide very little value. ... show more

  • Great troubleshooting pamphlet and Peace of mind for moms!
We have a brand new outboard engine yet recently it stopped working half way back to our boat. I had no idea what to do and where to start. I ended up having someone tow me back (luckily) but I decided that I wouldn’t be in this position again. I bought the outboard pamphlet and it’s a amazing! It’s made for folks like me who don’t know too much about an outboard and need to quickly trouble shoot the issue. It’s also a good refresher for seasoned cruisers. It’s waterproof and tear proof so it can live in our dinghy locker. I also have 2 boys driving the dinghy so it gives me peace of mind knowing they can trouble shoot issues if they arise out there. It’s super well made!! ... show more

  • A handy must-have reference guide
As advertised, Outboard Troubleshooting for Non-Mechanics by The Boat Galley is a waterproof, dirt-proof, and tear-resistant troubleshooting guide for when your outboard engine has problems starting or running. It lists 21 checks and suggestions, in addition to an overview of the symptoms/causes, which check to refer to, and common issues; four tools that might be required; and a glossary. This handy pamphlet is obviously created by experienced cruisers who know how to compile beneficial how-to guides in a professional, compact, and clear format. Outboard Troubleshooting for Non-Mechanics is concise, informative, instructional, and helpful – as a quick resource for novice boaters or as a reminder for seasoned outboard users. It is a well-designed, easy-to-consult brochure with an attractive layout; a must-have for dinghy drivers and boat owners who operate outboard motors. ... show more

  • Very basic.
Too basic for me… advice like open the air vent … I was hoping for tips in carburetor clogs.

  • Fantastic, easy to use
This product is clearly marked as a 'pamphlet' and written for non-mechanics. It's a great guide for a beginner, with problems categorized as common or uncommon, so you know where you start if you have a motor issue.
