Following the international success of his Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible, now in its second edition, John Payne turns his talents from sailing boats (his hobby) to powerboats (his profession).
The new Motorboat Electrical and Electronics Manual covers all inboard engine boats, from 20' to 120', 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.
Payne 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.
