Author	Topic:   Online outboard repair information?
Offshore20	posted 07-28-2003 08:37 PM ET (US)         I am looking for a web site that has information on engine repair. Like an online manual. Does a site like this exist? I am looking for Johnson information in particular. Thank You Offshore20
Sal DiMercurio	posted 07-28-2003 08:49 PM ET (US)             Forget it, just go to your local Johnson dealer & have him order you a shop manual for your particular engine. Theres no such site that i'm aware of. The manual will cost you about $30.00 but takes in everything. Sal
Jamie 20 outrage	posted 07-28-2003 08:54 PM ET (US)             Sal is right, but Boatsetup.com might be better than a manual. The forums there are very professional. But even they will probably refer to certain procedures that the manual will assist you in performing. Try it, I like it.
Offshore20	posted 07-28-2003 09:34 PM ET (US)             Jamie I tried to find Boatsetup.com and come up with a page cannot be found message. Is the spelling correct? Offshore20
Offshore20	posted 07-28-2003 09:39 PM ET (US)             Sal I will order the manual tomorrow. I like the idea of having a forum about motors etc. I am a novice with outboard mechanics and would like to learn more. Offshore20
Jamie 20 outrage	posted 07-28-2003 09:44 PM ET (US)             Did you try www.boatsetup.com with no spaces? After you get there, it takes a while to find the 12 forums, but once you do save it to your favorites and skip all the other stuff.
Sal DiMercurio	posted 07-28-2003 09:47 PM ET (US)             Offshore, the manual has pictures & tells you which tools you need to get. I doubt you will get every bit of info needed from someone else on another site. Sal

JBCornwell	posted 07-28-2003 11:18 PM ET (US)             Offshore. Get the manual. Anyone who works on an outboard without one has a fool for a mechanic. Best advice on the net is on iboats.com. Red sky at night. . . JB
