Product Description

This is an electrical book with a difference. Based on one of Practical Boot Owner magazine's most successful series, Alastair Garrod's cutting edge computer generated artwork and clear uncomplicated text succeeds in simplifying an extremely complicated subject in a new and exciting way. The magazine series was nominated at the British Nautical Awards 2000 for the most outstanding piece of published work on any nautical subject. Electrics Made Simple is a ground-breaking book with several unique features: * very clear, well illustrated explanations of boat electrical systems * no offputting formulae or calculations * a four-page fold out illustration of a yacht's complete electrical layout * a resume of the world's leading marine electrical websites * troubleshooting information * the only colour illustrated boat electrics book on the market

About the Author

Alastair Garrod has been based in the Solent area virtually all his life and his childhood was mostly spent cruising the West Country and Breton waters on the family boat. After leaving school, Alastair spent seven years in the Merchant Navy and then went back to college as a mature student to become a Technical Illustrator. In the early 1990s Alastair joined Practical Boat Owner where he has been for over 10 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, also for people with experience, 14 Jun 2002

By	Richard Chisnall (Copenhagen Denmark) - See all my reviews

I bought this book as a total beginner in boat electrics, hoping to learn the basics, and I'm not disappointed.

The author is very thorough and covers the basics in enough depth so that if you need to understand out how your boats electrics functions, you stand a chance. It sets lots of commonly misunderstood concepts straight too.

The graphics are excellent and augment the written content very well.

My only gripe? It's a bit too tall for the bookshelf on the boat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb presentation, 8 April 2009

By	K. L. Wren (Herefordshire, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

A superb, highly-informative and very readable book suitable for those experienced in marine electronics and batteries while also straightforward for a complete novice to understand. Presentation is exceptionally good with clear illustrative diagrams, sketches and photographs. Also suitable for owners of motorhomes using and charging leisure batteries. A highly recommended read which won't disappoint.
