I am looking at a couple of different manuals, one is a glenns Chrysler outboard manual, one is a seloc Chrysler outboards, and one is a clymer "official" outboard. Any feedback one these?<br />Thanx Richard

Re: manuals?

Hi rwise<br /> Thank you for the chance to once again climb on my soap box and preach. Really the best manual for you is the one you are most comfortable with, the one you feel you can understand best, the you will read. I have never had a Glenns manual so I can't comment on that one. The Clymer and Seloc books are both exellent and I'd be willing to bet that your Glenn's is probably right there as well. I own a fairly good library of outboard manuals and info dating from post WWII to about 1990. Alot of this info is OEM. I fill in the gaps with either Clymer or Seloc or a few other after market manuals I have. I read a lot of complaining on this board about this manual or that. You know "My so and so manual is wrong, it's no good", and so on. The fact is 99.9% of this is because the reader does not understand what they are reading, or didn't read it through in the first place. I have manuals about a lot of things that I do not understand. These books are useless to me right now. Maybe some day when I decide to build a neuclar power plant or a computer they will come in handy.

Re: manuals?

For the Chrysler outboards I too like the Seloc over the Clymer. I don't think either is great, but the Seloc covers some important things that the Clymer just don't... just a thought

Re: manuals?

I'll cast my vote with Seloc. I've got the Clymer too but, I never use it. Got the factory manual too. I'll still go with Seloc. 1970 Chrysler 55 magneto ign.

Re: manuals?

Thanx all, I think I'll let the Glenn's manual go to the other bidder, and opt for a Seloc!
