Description
Diesel engines are installed on just about every yacht and in most large motorboats and, while professional help is often at hand, sometimes it is not. Indeed engine failure is one of the most frequent causes of Coastguard callouts. Topics covered are:
- How the diesel engine works
- The air & fuel systems
- Engine electrics
- Propeller choice
- Fault finding
- Out of season layup and maintenance
Armed with Diesels Afloat and your engine’s manual you can get the best performance out of your engine, be confident in dealing with any problem AND save money.
This edition has been thoroughly modernised and updated by former course lecturer and currently chief engineer on merchant ships, Callum Smedley.
