Product Description

Product Description

Keep the juice flowing.

At home you can flick a switch and electricity will flow – as long as you pay the bills.  A boat is more like an island: if electricity is used it must be replaced; if things go wrong you will have to fix them yourself.

This book contains all you need to be a 12–volt troubleshooter. It gives some basic theory so you can understand what you′re doing. It majors on the seamanlike practices of anticipating and preventing trouble. And it shows clearly how to locate a fault, correct the problem if you can or adopt a get–you–home remedy if you can′t.

Read it at home, then keep it on your boat′s bookshelf for when you need it most.

  • Principles
  • Making electricity
  • Storing it
  • Distributing it
  • Equipment
  • Troubleshooting

Simple clear instructions and diagrams cover most topics of basic sailing boat electrical systems.

I particularly appreciated the section on starting diesel engines.

I first read the book after borrowing it from my local library, but have decided that it is definitely worth buying.

i bought this wanting to install a number of electrical accessories on my small yacht, and found it to be quite lacking in modern devices or techniques, the pictures are only black and white, featuring tools and parts my grandfather might have used, it seems like it was written about 30 years ago.

as an example, when discussing 'lights' both cabin and navigation, they compare 'bulbs' to 'flourescent' but never even mention the even less power hungry LED options available today.

this might have been a useful book 20-30 years ago, but today its next to useless.

'Simple' in the title says it as it is. Basic stuff, assuming no prior knowledge - we all have to start somewhere! With this book, commensense, and basic tools you just might be able to sort out minor electrical probs for yourself. worth a punt.
