Hi has anyone bought the CD manuals for outboards that are for sale on Ebay, are they any good?? or are the books better??

NOT for me but a local mate!! I have the paper ones.

Hi Austin. I have bought one on CD & it is fine - just a scanned copy of the original in my case. I would, however, always much prefer the proper book - it's an awful lot easier to take to the bench/boat than a PC! ;)

Hi Austin, yes brought Merc manual on CD Ebay, the same content as the printed one but about 1/8 the cost. Just print the page you need at the time.
