Review
"Filled with pictures, diagrams and step-by-step instructions, Jean-Luc Pallas' maintenance and repair manual, Outboard Motors, aims to help readers experience trouble-free boating." -- Soundings, January 2007

"In this volume, which includes a profusion of diagrams and photographs, Jean-Luc Pallas, professor of Recreational Mechanics at La Rochelle Technical College in France, provides a most valuable resource for all outboard engine users, ranging from those who allocate all maintenance and repair to others to dedicated to do-it-yourselfers willing to tackle serious maintenance and repair tasks themselves...This reasonably priced volume would be a worthy addition to any outboard owner's bookshelf!" -- Good Old Boat, June 2007
