  • Good buy.
Good step by step instructions. Easy to understand.

  • satisfied customer
This was exactly what I was looking for. It is a hard to find manual for my boat and they had it for a great price.

  • As expected
Great price - only a few dollars more then a used book recommended for anyone that has an older mercury

  • Great manual but lacking some detail
I bought this manual because I needed to rebuild carbs on a customer's boat. It is a nice manual, but as these go sometimes they try to cover lots of models and years in one book. The result is that I didn't actually get much of the information for the carb rebuild and adjustments that I was looking for. I'm sure it will come in handy for other repairs though. I give it four stars because I wish the information was more complete. ... show more

  • Five Stars
This manual was a lifesaver for me and a must have when working an older outboard motor.

  • Decent, but has some gaps
Understandably, it's hard to cover a huge number of models and years in a single manual, but if you have WMA (Walbro) carbs on your Mercury Outboard you won't find any info on them here. I understand there are a lot of variants, but a supplemental manual would have been nice to cover those variations. Trying to decipher serial number runs is also a little difficult to figure out, as there is no mention of those serials beginning with an alpha character instead of a number. A lot of assumptions have to be made. Fortunately, the web is a huge help as are the parts suppliers. I take most of the info in the manual with a grain of salt and always double check when I can against other sources. Overall this shop manual provides a good overview of the mechanics and gives reliable Timing and adjustment data, but tends to be lack luster in its presentation of pictures and diagrams. All this is not to say that you shouldn't buy the manual, because you will be hard pressed to get the kind of info it provides on older models with the exception of the SELOC guide. Just be aware that it is not as comprehensive and specific as it could be. ... show more

  • Indispensable
What can be said? If you do any of your own maintenance on an outboard merc, you should have the shop manual.
