I recently purchased a "seloc yamaha outboard 1-2 cylinder 1984 - 1991" repair manual through an amazon seller to use for repairs on my 8hp (8SF) 1989 yamaha outboard. Well when I received the manual I noticed the dates on the cover instead states 1984 - 1987 and the manual was published in 1987. I looked back at my order form and made sure I ordered one through 1991 and I did. The book I should have received says on the cover 1984-1987 with an added text box saying "valid through 1991". Before I go through the hassle of trying to get the correct manual, I want to make sure that the one I have is not valid for 1989. If no changes were made to the actual manual and they simply stuck the "valid through 1991" on there, I won't bother getting a new manual.
Or... does anyone know whether or not any significant changes were made to the design of an 8hp yamaha from 1987 to 1991??
Thanks for any input.
