Depends on the engine and year, but I'll say Seloc.<br />Personal preference is a significant factor here. :) <br /><br />PS - I noticed Iboats has stopped selling Clymers ones.

I have found that by owning BOTH a Clymer and a Seloc, I can usually find enough information to work with.

Factory and Seloc would be good. Seloc has good pics and notes that help you through.

Middleground said "But OEM shop manuals assume good mechanical skills going in, and are as confusing as they are helpful to newbies in this area." I have not found this to be the case and have used all three. I find both Seloc & Clymer confusing since they are not specific to one motor. I have spent tons of time searching for what applies to my motor. If you buy the OEM manual specific for your motor you know what the procedures are for YOUR motor. I have found the mechanical skills to use any of the three about the same - - And for what it is worth I am a driveway mechanic.
