The manual contains instructions and guidelines on how to carry out repairs and maintenance works on the outboard engine to keep it functioning properly. The outboard repair manual is also referred to as an outboard workshop manual or outboard factory service manual.

The 2008 Yamaha 60 repair manual explains engine technology in simple terms, sometimes with visual illustrations and drawings, so that the complex and obscure parts of the outboard engine can be understood by the boat owner.

Contents of an Outboard Repair Manual

Yamaha 60 horsepower repair manuals provide detailed information about the technical aspects of outboard engines, providing a form of basic introduction into what the outboard engine is.

Outboard repair manuals usually contain maintenance and repair worksheets that allow beginners as well as the mechanically knowledgeable boat owners to work on their outboard engines with confidence. The repair or maintenance procedures are usually separated into simple, technical or complex procedures depending on the level of experience and skill of the person carrying out the repair/maintenance.

Yamaha 2008 F, T 60 TLR repair manuals also contain reviews of some of the most common causes of outboard engine breakdown. Troubleshooting lists are provided in the manual to allow the boat owner diagnose and fix the most common problems associated with the outboard engine.

A common maintenance routine called winterizing, is usually presented in outboard repair manuals in a stepwise format. Winterizing involves desalting and lubrication, draining the gearbox, cleaning and greasing.

The Yamaha 60 hp repair manual describes the anatomy of the outboard engine, which has three main parts; the power head, the shaft and the lower leg. The power head combines the engine block, ignition, fuel, lubrication, and starter.  The shaft (which is also called the pivoting support) includes the systems for trim, attachment, steering and tilt. The lower leg is the part of the outboard engine that provides the propulsion. It contains the propeller, bevel gears, and the water pump.

Yamaha motors are composed of different systems that function together to make the boat move. Information on these systems and how they function are provided in the outboard repair manual. The outboard engine systems are the fuel system, the ignition system, the cooling system, the propulsion (drive) system, and the lubrication system.

The outboard repair manual details the system checks that a boat owner must perform to monitor the condition of the engine. The checks are classified into five and they include instruments check (oil level and pressure), check for unusual mechanical noises (using a stethoscope), cooling system checks, fuel system checks (leaks, fuel mix), and compression checks (head gasket and crankcase seals).

Yamaha 2008 60 repair manuals also contain a conversion table section to enable the boat owner make simple conversions of measurement units such as length, liquid volume, capacity, weight, torque, temperature, and pressure.

How Is An Yamaha Repair Manual Helpful To A Boat Owner?

A boat owner, who is not necessarily an expert in engineering technicalities relies on the outboard repair manual to educate them on the technical concepts of the outboard engine. The manual explains terminologies that a boat owner who wants to carry out maintenance or repair work on their outboard engine needs to know. Some of such engine terminologies are bore, flow, gearbox, ignition, valves, spark plugs, piston displacement, compression ratio, torque, horsepower etc.

The outboard repair manual also provides the boat owner with information that will help them identify the cycle of operation of their boat’s outboard engine and how the cycles work. The common engine cycles are two-stroke engine cycles and four-stroke engine cycles. Rotary cycle engines used to be common, but have been phased out of the market due to its excessive fuel consumption and reliability problems.

The outboard repair manual helps the boat owner know the basic tools that they need to have on hand to do simple jobs on the outboard engine. The tools are spanners, screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, spark plug, wire brush, marine grease, spray can of penetrating oil etc.

With the 2008 Yamaha 60hp repair manual, the boat owner can identify the cause(s) of engine breakdown by hunting down the first signs of wear, any unusual noise, vibration, or leaks before the breakdown happens.
