Best Do-It-Yourself repair manual?

I'm going to try and tackle the engine problems on my BF50A myself, and was wondering if there are any good repair manuals for marine engines. This is my first time working on them, but I've done some work on motorcycles and cars, and found the Clymer, Haynes and Chilton books to be invaluable.

Is there anything like this for marine, and specifically, Honda engines?

Thanks guys!

Each Honda outboard engine has a Helm Shop Manual, which is the ONLY way to go. Forget about the after market ones.

You can also buy them through eBay.

The chawk_man knows of what he speaks!

Seloc...Clymer...Haynes...Chilton...ALL give mostly generalized info that is often incorrect in it's specificity AND, those all try to cover too many models at once to attract the greatest amount of book buyers. Which, leaves us book buyers with a half hearted attempt at repairing our equipment.

Helm is VERY specific, more costly and worth every penny. It IS the OFFICIAL shop manual. It has been this way since I bought my first Ford shop manual from them back in the 80's.

Also, beware of CD's sold on Ebay for Honda outboards. They are just one or two of the bad manuals that have been PDF file copied and are just as bad and HARDER to read. Don't ask me how I know.

Thanks guys!

I agree on Seloc, Clymer etc. manuals. Too generalized. Bought manual for my honda here - very responsible site: http://www.pdfsale.com/outboard.motors/

Cool looking site. I think I'll try one. Thanks for the tip northboater.
