This volume offers a comprehensive coverage of marine diesel engine parts and what they do, checklists for regular engine care and maintenance and an overview of electrical systems. It is part of series of books about technical issues facing every boat owner and is fully illustrated with photos and technical drawings.
John C. Payne is a cruising sailor and professional marine electrical engineer and surveyor with a 28-year career in merchant shipping and the offshore oil industry. His unique combination of technical know-how and practical experience at sea has made him a much sought-after authority.
Apart from being an internationally respected authority on marine electrical systems and electronics, the author is a sailor and also spent some of his career in the offshore oil industry. Boat Diesel Engines is another of his slim-line books in the Understanding series. Like the others, it is compact, concise and well illustrated. Starting with basic diesel theory, the author takes you through fuel system maintenance, filters, keeping the engine cool, inspecting a water-pump impeller, lubrication and electrical troubleshooting. You'll certainly be better armed in the end than you were in the beginning. * Sailing *
