An outboard repair manual is a document used to help you service your boat’s motor. In general terms, it is a repair manual that includes repair instructions for your boat’s outboard motor. The manuals are provided to cover every aspect of service, maintenance, and repair.
Specifically for outboard motor repair manuals, they will offer step-by-step solutions, troubleshooting help, repair procedures, and other detailed information about owning and caring for your boat’s motor. Often, they will have high-definition images, detailed wiring diagrams, full assembly and sub-assembly drawings of your motor, factory specs, and exploded views of your motor.
How is it Useful?
With any machine or moving part, you need to give it regular and preventative maintenance. Doing so will improve the overall life of the machine, and keep it running smoothly. For example, with your car’s engine you know that you have to give it regular oil changes and have professionals service it from time to time. Your boat’s motor requires the same amount of attention and care.
Routine and preventative maintenance will help prevent motor failure. Once the motor fails, if you can’t repair it you either have to pay a professional a lot of money, or you have to completely replace it which could cost hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, depending.
Besides that, sometimes machine just break down and a repair manual will help you. There are steps like oil changes, lubing, winterizing, and checking moving pieces that should be done routinely or semi-routinely.
As far as repair goes, if you’re in the water and your motor stops working, you’re stuck until you get it working. Referring to your outboard repair manual might give you a troubleshooting clue that could save you a call to a towboat. Otherwise, when you get back to shore you can refer to your book and start the maintenance.
Ultimately, your manual is useful because it will firstly prevent breakdowns, then it will help you should a breakdown occur.
