Which manual should I buy for my 86 120 Evinrude?

[Cudos]

I know there are different service manual publishers out there. Any thoughts on which one is the best for my 1986 Evinrude 120 looper. I want to be more hands on and not be afraid of tearing down. But want a comprehensive manual.

Cheers

I have several different types of manuals, but I like the factory service manual best for my needs. Cost a littlte more, but worth it.

Try to find an original OMC servuce manual for it. EBay is usually a good source and you can often find one for the exact year of your motor. If not, in most cases (at least in years prior to the FICHT/E-TEC motors), being off a year or two won't make much, if any, difference.

I just picked up a factory manual for a '73 ERude 85hp project motor. I bought it on EBAY for under 20 bucks, shipping included. It looks like it has never been used - not a smudge on it.
