Jon, I think your still missing the point. Premium membership isn't all about the manuals.........It's a way for us to keep going.... You don't need the manual to fix something, you can ask a forum member.
These people you see in the forum who have a premium membership, it isn't so they can have the manuals, it's because they want to keep this web-site alive!...without it, we'd have to rely on another source to find our wanted/needed information. And from what I've seen and read on the internet, there isn't many people out there with the experience we have here!....I know several of these premium members who have shops and are mechanics on these crafts, they don't need these manuals.......they probably know how to do that repair by heart. They do it to support the cause this forum gives to others who are not quite mechanically apt to do the repairs on their own but smart enough to know that if they take it to a shop, they may really be paying for something they don't need. They come in, read, post and converse with some of these experienced mechanics and then, with confidence, do the repair themselves............I'm not going to name these premium members who are also mechanics, but if your on the forum long enough and have a small to serious problem with your Sea-Doo, I'm sure you learn quickly who they are. I've seen a jr. member come in and after going through the process of making a costly repair to their Doo, they became a premium member just to show their support. That's what it's about, community.
I'm sorry to make such a long post but it does annoy me that people think this forum is all about the money and the manuals..........it's not. It's a "gated" community, and most of us, if not all, are proud to be a part of it.............:rant:........:cheers:
