Default Perkins 4-108 Shop/Repair Manual

Hmmm....the manual is now 350 miles from me with the boat. It's got a blue
cover & 1/2 page sized. I'm sure it's not a complete manual...but does
cover bleeding fuel system etc. It's so small that the pictures are not so
easy to see. Maybe the actual full shop manual would be better. I guess
I'd been thinking it'd be like cars...the after-market manuals are better.

Comments?

My Gulfstar 41' has a Perkins 4-108. I do have a manual for it...as
prepared by Perkins. Because shop manuals by the manufacturer are

commonly
(in my limited experience) small & lacking in detail. Because nothing

goes
wrong in port, with a marine mechanic anchored nearby, I am looking for
something like a, "Perkins 4-108 Repair for Dummies". Lots of detailed
description, photos and diagrams.

I trust this doesn't make me look like a dummy...;-)! Even so, this

dummy
things that not being prepared will eventually make one look like a real
dummy.

I look forward to all your helpful assistance.

Glenn,
Do you have a Perkins Operators manual or the Perkins shop manual. The
Perkins shop manual that I have has complete disassembly/assembly
instructions with photos. Cost $75.00
