The modern sport fisherman can customarily be found aboard a 12' to 26' trailerable boat equipped with an outboard motor and an astonishing assortment of electrical and electronic devices. The Fisherman's Electrical Manual is the first book to sort through this bewildering array, helping readers to make the right choices for their individual needs.
Subjects covered include: outboard electrics, trolling motors, downriggers and ion systems, trim tabs, batteries and battery charging, boat wiring, sonar and fish finders, VHF and DSC radio, GPS, charts, radar, and autopilots. Thorough, well-organized, and written with clarity and insight, The Fisherman's Electrical Manual will enhance the skills of any small boat fisherman through a better understanding of the installation, troubleshooting, and repairs of any and all electrical systems associated with the rod and reel.
