Need to get a manual for my 1997 Yamana Saltwater Series II (S150TXRV) outboard. Should I go with SeLoc Marine or a Clymer manual and why?<br /><br />thanks all

whjat would be wrong with a factory yammi one?<br /> the clymer to me has always been better than the seloc. that is just a personal opinion. the yammi manual usually has less theroy in it but is ok. the clymer and seloc will do most of what you need.<br /> good luck and keep posting

Hello<br />I bought the Yamaha one for 53.00, it seems to me the Yamaha one is more geared for a guy who have had Yamaha training and the exploded views are not that clear, it looks like Seloc and Clymer have more inofrmation, easier to understand, and clearer exploded views and the the other 2 are about 1/2 the price<br />just my observation<br />thanx<br />Bruce

I got both. I used the Clymer for several years, but on more than a few occasions it was lacking in detail or the descriptions were vague. For a particularly large job (head and carp overhaul) I wanted more, so I got the SeLoc as well.<br /><br />I've found both together to provide a lot of insight on procedures and parts that neither one could provide by itself.<br /><br />Cheers<br />B
