Motorboat Electrical & Electronics Manual by John C Payne
Following the international success of his Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible, now in its second edition, John Payne has turned his talents from sailing boatsuhis hobbyuto powerboatsuhis profession. The new Motorboat Electrical and Electronics Manual covers all inboard engine boats, from 20A to 120A, coastal, inshore, and blue-water vessels. This complete guide to the electrical systems and the electronics for large and small pleasure boats and workboats is a must for all builders, owners and operators, whether they are concerned with new boats or older boats and their maintenance and upgrading. Topics cover everything from diesel engines to refrigeration, and lightning protection to batteries and metal corrosion as well as radar, navigation and communications systems. The author has put together a detailed, extremely useful and thoroughly practical guide, explaining in detail how to select, install, maintain, and troubleshoot all the electrical and electronic systems on a boat.
Most electrical and maintenance guides available today cater to the sailboat owner, a person obsessed with minimizing the draw of various electrical and electronic gearThe owner of the power boat, however, is less concerned with such things, being able to draw power more readily. John Payne's latest book is written expressly for the owners of long-distance powerboats. One of the more valuable chapters is a look at managing diesel engines and their attendant electrical systems for long-distance powerboats. Where the sailboat owner is concerned with maintaining an auxiliary engine for power, the care of an inboard diesel that sees heavier use means certain maintenance differences. The book starts with the engine and works its way downstream, discussing everything from refrigeration and communications systems to heavy deck equipment and autopilots. * Ocean Navigator *
