Factory service manual versus repaiar manual?

[FoFittyFoSS]

I just picked up a 1990 Evinrude XP150 and need a manual. I'm having trouble finding a factory service manual. Is the Solec manual any good and is the online subscription worth the extra money? Any other suggestions or opinions on this motor? Thanks, Scott.

IMO, the OEM manual is way better, it will be more specific to your engine as to where the Seloc will show a wider range of engines in a single manual. The OEM one will show you step by step how to do everything with plenty of pictures where the Sloc has fewer pictures and on general instructions.......
