    Which manual is better? Seloc or Clymer?

    Have a manual question? Who's manual do you think is best,...SELOC or Clymer? A friend of mine suggested I go on outboardbooks.com and get an original Johnosn service manual for my motor because he thinks Seloc and Clymer leave out some information. What do you think?

    What is this little knob for?

    I have noticed on my 1970 Johnson 9.5 HP motor that there is a knob that adjusts for low and high speed(lean/rich)settings. What is the purpose of this knob? Never seen anything like this on an outboard!

    There is a possibility that I MIGHT be able to get into a new '09 Lund A-14 utility-v bottom boat with a Honda outboard. This boat is rated for a 15 HP motor. Should everything work out,the dealer I might be getting it from has offered two options motorwise. I can go with the BF9.9 or the...

    Sea Nymph boat question

    Okay,I am sure some of you have already seen,...and read,...my post about my still searching for a boat. Now,it brings up a question I need to ask. The 14R,according to the Sea nymph spec board,was made up to 1990. In 1991,the FM141 seems to have been the replacement for the 14R since it still...

    Older Yamaha motors vs Older OMC motors

    Okay,I am talking about motors made from 1988 to about 1991. If you compare Yamaha with Evinrude and Johnson(even if I am an OMC guy when it comes to motors,I would accept Yamaha as a second choice), which would you prefer?

All MUST have Evinrude or Johnson motors,and they all MUST be tiller steer models. Price range for the boat,motor,and trailer(a must) has to be within the $1,300.00...

The same would go for the old OMC/Sea Nymph boat brochures within the same model years(mainly 1989 to...
