Which repair manual is recommended

[mrtool2u]

I want to pickup a manual for my 1992 Johnny 120,and I would like some input from the gurus as to which manual is better. I know that there is Seloc and Clymer, and possibly others,,I have heard some complain that some are hard to follow. Any info much appreciated.

The original OEM Manual is by far the best one, mrtool.

There are several sources. kencook.com is one of them.

Actually JB,,my facts were a bit wrong,,it is a 1994 Johnny 120. But my question is, I would like to get a manual that would also cover my brothers 1995 115 Rude. Would this be possible with 1 manual. His motor is a bit different,,his a 60degree V,,and mine is a 90V.

Just my two cents: I have a SeLoc for my evinrude; the manual covers a wide range of HP and years and is darn near uninterpretable or actually wrong for my engine; the diagrams are wrong for simple things like linkage synchronization and describe parts or adjustments screws that aren't even there.
I finally ordered an OEM from kencook.com-- it came yesterday and it's a world of difference! it only covers a limited range of HP and only for my year, and each section has lots of photos and details. It's twice the cost of the Seloc and Clymers, but definitely worth it in my opinion--- especially for us rookies trying to find their way around the engine.

I doubt you'll find one that covers both yours and your brother's though--- try a Clymer from e-bay and see if that's any good. I wouldn't pay postage for another Seloc manual.....er, um, forget i said that-- you wanna buy mine?
