"The photographs and diagrams are clear, the text is direct and understandable and the publisher is to be congratulated on the presentation. It is a first class example of a technical handbook. Well worth the investment."

Boat Fishing Monthly (March 2007) "The sister book [to Maintenence and Repair for Diesel Engines] by Jean-Luc Pallas but on outboards. Just as detailed and just as simple to follow and again with excellent colour illustrations. Definitely worth having on board." Gaffer's Log (December 2006)
