Re: whats the best service manual?

The best service manual is the Evinrude shop manual that was written for the motor. I believe iboats sells them. But from what I have read on this forum, it requires a basic knowledge of the motor. I personally don't own one as I would have to get 4 different manuals and at $60 plus a pop, it's a bit more than I wanted to spend. I have a clymer's, seloc, and a manual on cd I got off ebay. These are all general manuals that cover a number of model years. Seloc and the cd actually are pretty good if you are a beginner. I like the cd because it also has a good troubleshooting file. Clymer's I'm not crazy about.

15020 is the 1957 18 hp, standard(short) shaft, manual start. The Evinrude service manual is what the Evinrude factory sent to their repair shops about how to maintain and repair this engine.
