omc shop manual

[George Graves]

I want to buy a repair manual to cover my 1986 70 horse Johnson. Which should I buy Clymer or Selco?

Your first choice should be the OEM Manual, Fishin.<br /><br />www.kencook.com offers reprints.<br /><br />Good luck.

Amen to the OEM manual. You can also look here.<br /><br /> http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/johnson/

Thanks guys for the info. I couldn't find a site for the OEM manuals. marineengine.com looks like a good one.

The marineengine site carries OEM manuals. It's hard to find manuals on the kencook site unless you look in their 'Portfolio'. <br /><br />Here's my collection of OEM manual links:<br />TheOutboardWizard<br />Mastertech<br />Marine Engine<br />Ken Cook <br />They all ultimately come from Ken Cook Co. They have the license to copy the manuals.

fishingeo,<br /><br /> You might also look on eBay. I found both a parts catalog and an OMC Service Manual for my Johnson for less than half the price from Ken Cook, et al. And they were both originals, not just copies. Ordinarily, I wouldn't suggest a non iBoats source, since they sponsor these forums, but their prices are simply not reasonable for these items.<br /><br />Just my $0.02 worth,<br />Joe
