Outboard Engines 2E (PB)

After reading previous reviews of this book I was already impressed with what I was getting. After getting started in chapter one, I quickly realized that Ed Sherman was going to impress me more. As I began to read, a plethora of outboard information was hurled into my eyes. I was immensely astounded by the detail Sherman goes into on maintaining your outboard motor.One part I particularly enjoyed was how well the book was organized. I found it to be quite suitable for a novice, such as myself. The great explanations with wonderful, accompanying diagrams helped me form a grasp on how these interesting machines work.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about outboard engines. Whether you're a beginning boater or a seasoned sea-goer, this book will definitely provide much use to you.

This book is smaller in size than I had expected but its a nice looking book (hard back). The pictures are black/white and sometimes hard to see. But the book is full of great info, the author really knows his stuff

Needs to be updated.

This manual was ordered for me to be able for me to make my own repairs to my outboard motors and is very useful resources and I save a ton of money doing the repairs myself.

This book is well written, and does a good job explaining outboards, maintenance, and repair. Recommended to all, novice and experienced, as a useful book.

This was a great and informative book. I would highly recommend it.

I must admit that I was a little disappointed with this book. I was looking for a general book that would cover older outboards in some detail - this isn't it. In its favor, it has a lot of "how things work" in it and, for a beginner, would be a decent book. But I truly wish it had more about the older motors like the one I have.

This book will help to understand some things, but you will still need the owners manual data for your engine!
