Clymer repair manuals on outboard motors

Clymer repair manual for Mercury and Mariner outboard motorsClymer Outboard Shop Manuals provide very detailed information on maintenance, repair and overhaul of outboard motors in a user-friendly way. They count between 400 and 800 pages. The various interventions are described step by step. Hundreds of photos and drawings clarify the text.

Not only the engine part of outboards is covered, but also the gearbox, the tailpiece, the standard remote control as well as the trim and tilt system. They provide instructions for a complete overhaul of the engine, gas pump, carburetor and transmission. Possible jet drive variants are also discussed in detail.

Clymer Outboard Shop Manuals describe:

  • all preventive maintenance work
  • synchronization and adjustment of fuel and ignition systems
  • complete overhaul of all affected engine types
  • complete maintenance and overhaul procedures for feed pumps and carburettors, venting and enrichment systems, as well as any electronic fuel injection
  • test and replacement instructions for electric starting, charging and ignition systems
  • complete overhaul of the gearbox, with adjustment procedures
  • bleeding, maintenance and replacement of parts of electrical and hydraulic trim and tilt systems.

Adjustment data and torque wrench settings are presented in clear tables. There is also a very extensive chapter on detecting and trubleshooting defects. A Clymer Outboard Shop Manual is indispensable on board!
