by Tim Bartlett
A bestseller when in the RYA series, this new edition has been updated to take into account new developments in engine technology. Aimed at boatowners rather than experienced mechanics, this book clearly explains how the engine uses simple processes to convert fuel to power, and then examines the various sub-systems that allow those processes to take place: the fuel system, the air system, the cooling system, the oil system, the electrical system, the transmission and control systems. The book concludes with a look at tools, hints and tips, maintenance schedules and fault-finding.
