quote Bob D:

I bought a new USB stick and am planning to send. A little postage is well worth the amount of information that it sounds as if you have compiled. I paid $30 alone for an original 1958 Johnson 10HP owners manual.
As John C asked is there anything in particular that you are looking for so I may include (if I have) it on my stick before I send?
Thanks,

Just send what you have as my database has grown I have not made a "master list" of what I have on it. It is far easier for me to see what you have and determine if I have it. here is a problem I face all the time. My list is labeled by maker, year, hp I don’t list them by model number where many people do list their info by model number. So either you have to determine the year of the motor and HP or I have to determine the model number to see if I have it. If you send me the info I look at the cover page or first page of each file you send me and if I don’t recognize it as something I have I then do a more detailed search to see if I have it. If it is new I add it to the database, if I already have it I just move to the next file you send me on your stick. This process alone can take several hours to do. You would be surprised at how many files I get that are identical but labeled different. IE the same motor parts list could be titled as a 1956 fastwin or a 1956 15hp or a 1956 fastwin electric or an evinrude model 15918. These are all the same motor parts lists. One other problem is they will send me info labeled as 3M-GS which means something on their computer to them, but I need to find out what it is. It is a Champion model 3M-GS power-shift lite twin. But wait what year is it? Can you see my problem now with letting you know what I need?
Please just send me what you have it is way easier for me to do it my way.
