I hate this slock or whatever manual I have to work on my force 120. It dosn't show crap for pictures and the pictures it does show are ones that arn't my application...

Is there anyone out there that makes an interactive manual. When I used to be a mechanic we had a program called alldata that was bad ***. The Ford dealer has software similar...

I need help with this damn force engine and the manual I have is not cutting it.

not sure about the cd/dvd..that would be nice though wouldn't it?..
Have you got the Mercury Marine Manual for it?...you can go to their website and order it direct. seems like sometime you need a few different manuals to get the info you want.

did a quick search and came up with.....repairmanuals.com
seems like you pay to access their info online. the question is....how good are the pictures online?...if they are the same as the book, then whats the point?...check out their site

I believe repairmanuals.com just have a hyperlinked version of the Seloc manual... but that's just my impression after looking at their site and also looking for something that isn't cr*p. I've got the Seloc... what a dissapointment. I've ordered a copy of the original shop manual, at a healthy price, and I'm truly hoping for something better.

Seloc manuals really suck for Force motors.

Get yourself a factory manual or a Clymer manual.

The cd/dvd manuals I've seen are garbage, and I would rather get a printed manual dirty, than get my laptop all greasy.

That's exactly what it is. I ordered the manual online from RepairManuals.com, and it isn't anything special. It's way too general. I'm going to order the Clymer, or find a factory manual.

I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I've done ASE type work for years including building forced induction race cars. I think a snickers bar has better directions on its packaging than this book I have.

How do I get ahold of force? Or does Iboats sell a force manual?

I want something thats specific to this engine. Not 40 others. :D

Try ebay. That's where I got my factory Johnson manual.
