Editorial Reviews

Review

The value of this guide for the average diesel owner lies in its troubleshooting section. It would also be a good supplement to an owner's manual....a handy reference guide if you're the lucky owner of a boat with a diesel engine. -- The Ensign, December 1998

This review is from: The Care and Repair of Small Marine Diesels (Paperback)

Jumps right in and gives the meat and potatos of marine diesel without bogging you down or talking beneath you. Has good humor and excellent diagrams. I read it cover to cover and it actually got me interested in the diesels.
