Book Reviews of Clymer Volvo Penta Stern Drive Shop Manual: Stern Drive Shop Manual 1994-2000
Book Review: Money Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book about 6 weeks ago so I could get help to winterize my boat the first year. But what I used it for first was to find out why my engine was getting hot. It gave me a few ideas then it told me it could be the impeller sure enough problem found. It told me step for step even down to having four bolts in the housing and even a direction to turn. WOW $80.00 an hour saved, the book has already paid for it's self Thank's AMAZON and CLYMER.Book Review: Very Helpful!
Summary: 5 Stars
We actually borrowed this book from the library several times before we realized we couldn't live with out it! :) It is very informative with clear pictures and precise directions. Very well put together. Book Review: Paper paperweight.
Summary: 1 Stars
Being an ASE Cert. Master Auto Technician with over forty years experience, I was looking for a good shop manual for my boat. The engine is a Volvo 4.3 V6 with a Holley Marine carb...no big deal. The outdrive is other than what I've had experience (brand) with and I felt it would be a good thing to have specific repair information for it. The Internet (Marine Parts Express) gave more information (for free) on what I was looking for than this "Paper Paperweight" did. I found (in my opinion), the information it contained to be generic and useless. For the unskilled it might serve a purpose, for me, it's a paperweight.Book Review: Not what you need.
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are looking for a marine repair manual you probably have some mechanical skill but not so much you want to completely rebuild right down to the crankshaft. This book does the exact opposite. Wasted pages on the basics of four cylce combustion (who is there that would not already know but still care?), chapters on using micometers on everything from pistons to bearings (something usually only done in rebuild shops). But there is very little information the average boat owner can use. Little or incorrect information on replacing risers, pumps or stern drive removal.
The Seloc manual is a much better choice although it has many of the same sins, just less so. The Seloc also has much more complete tune up information. The factory manuals have better illustrations than either manual but are harder to find.
