This is a complete guide to selecting, maintaining, handling, and getting most from an outboard engine.
This long awaited manual is intended as a guide to help newcomers choose the right outboard for a particular boat or purpose. Keith Henderson, who has spent 18 years with Mercury Marine and Yamaha in Europe, gives advice on: selecting the correct engine size for the type of boat; setting it up at the best height and trim angle; choosing the correct propeller type, size and pitch; which remote control equipment to use; likely fuel consumption, running-in the engine, preventive maintenance and winterizing, protecting the outboard against corrosion, and trailering and launching with an outboard.
The Outboard Motor Manual is a complete guide to selecting, maintaining, handling and getting the most from an outboard engine. As such, it should be invaluable to all outboard owners.
