No but Zephyr recommended Ken Cook Company. I haven't ordered yet but I'm with you on the Seloc thing.
I have a Seloc for my 88spl and it covers so many different engines it gives me little help on issues like "what is this for?" kinda stuff.
Try looking at them anyway.

Re: marineengine.com order

I just looked into it more closely They go as far as to tell you exactly what motors the manual covers and it is very limited which is a good thing

Try Ken Cook in Milwaukee WI. They have copies of the orginals. Stay away from Seloc or Clymer.

Re: marineengine.com order

Re: marineengine.com order

ken cook wants to much for a re-print if thats what they are.. 40 dollars us for a re-print is a little steep if you ask me

Yes, I got a 1989 60hp manual from marineengine.com two years ago. It is a copy of the original OMC, $30.- Unfortunately the wiring diagrams are black and white.

Re: marineengine.com order

your other route is ebay for an original...searayman seems to carry a large selection

I actually ordered all my manuals for my boat through marineengine.com and they were great to work with. They gave me the original OMC Cobra 5.0 Workshop Manual, Part manual, and owner manual. Total came to like 150ish I believe after shipping-

They are the BEST manuals I ever bought. I would never buy Seloc or Clymer. Granted they are cheaper but OEM is best.

EDIT: I should add that they were brand new too, not used, and were bound together with plastic covers... Nice quality if you ask me-

Re: marineengine.com order

I purchased an OMC Service manual from Marineengine.com. They used my model number to get the exact manual. It is in color and specific to the family of motors like mine. Specifically my motor is a J150EXECD(VCarb, Extralong shaft, 60*V6, standard rotation). The manual covers the 60* V4 and V6 models (to 150HP) for that year. Specifically the J115, J105 Jet, J90 and some of the minor varients with power steering, counter rotation gearcases, 20" shafts, 25" shafts and 30" shafts.

IMHO, it is the best manual to have.

No problem!! It took about 5-7 business days to get them in. Well worth the wait though!! They have been used numerous times already! You'll be happy with the quality

Re: marineengine.com order

has anyone ever ordered there parts from marine engines.com?? if so what was your experience like? i am thinkimh of using marine engines because of my local dealer is slow at ordering parts when i need them. as for ordering threw iboats the shipping to me is a little steep and from marine engines its all one flat rate depending on how much you order but cheaper than iboats thats for sure.. sorry fellow iboaters need to watch the pocket book ..

Re: marineengine.com order

I've gotten parts from them with no problem...as with ordering anything, try to order all you'll need at one time <hard to do when replacing one thing leads to the next> as the ship/handling charges get costly...

Re: marineengine.com order

I as well have ordered parts from them and they are fairly quick and costs are low compared to others.

However one of my favorite places to order parts from is http://www.whole*alemarine.com/ * being a S... I'm not sure why the forum blocks this out.

Really low prices and I ordered seal kits for my OMC Cobra's and was able to get OEM seals and they were at my house 2 days after I ordered! People are great to talk to on the phone as well if you need assistance.

Another great place for diagrams of you're engine, etc.. is this Crowley Marine (but they are higher on pricing). I usually look up the part numbers on Crowley and then pop the part number into Whole Sale Marine's Search bar.
