Volvo Penta Stern Drives 2003-2012: Gasoline Engines & Drive Systems (Seloc Marine Manuals)

Great

Okay we have a boat with a Volvo Penta engine. We are pretty much novices at DYI but at least we want to be able to do some maintenance and basic diagnostics before we start forking over the large bucks. We bought the manual based on the reviews and found that book is very detailed and provides good instructions and diagrams so even a novice can feel confident. We went through the troubleshooting steps for our trim and were able to diagnose and correct the problems with new fuses and new relays. I think this guide has already saved us some money.I found it to be quite helpful and it does walk you through a process of elimination so you can determine the issue then assess your skill level and determine if you want to try it or call a professional. I found this very useful and helpful and would recommend it if you are even thinking of doing the work yourself. I am extremely pleased with this and would recommend it highly if you wan to make the leap into DIY repairs.

Thanks lots of good information

Hopefully I can save some money working on my money pit!

Well written concise covering the Volvo Penta offerings for the years specified.

I have not had to use this book too extensively, yet. However, for the few things that I have had to look up, I found it relatively easy to find the topic and the coverage to be good. Because the book covers several years and several engines and outdrive models, you must look carefully to ensure that you are referencing the information that applies to your specific application. The book includes symbols indicating the relative complexity of each procedure and whether or not special tools are required. This enables you to determine if it is really a DIY job or if you need to take it to the professionals.

Great detailed shop manual for those marine do it your selfers out there - paid for itself a couple times over just with a couple of procedures I have used it for already.

Great for school, visual aids.... etc....
