This book has long been the ultimate reference source for do-it-yourself maintenance people, providing the most in-depth coverage of marine installations, systems and parts, especially when it comes to their maintenance, repair and improvement. Each chapter takes a project or task and reduces it to step-by-step guidelines that any beginner or intermediate apprentice can master, illustrated throughout with very clear line drawings and photographs. If you buy only one book on engine and electrical maintenance, make it this one.
