1.0 out of 5 stars
An inadequate source of information for your boat.,

This review is from: Complete Guide To Boat Maintenance & Repair (Paperback)
Unfortunately, the author has oversold the concept of his book. You would expect that a book entitled "A Complete Guide to Boat Maintenance & Repair" would cover the most elementary and routine service procedure of removing and installing props from a stern drive; this information is no where to be found. Similarly, in an attempt to find pertinent information regarding something basic, like the replacement of zincs on an i/o drive, there was no reference to be found in the text. The closest thing to help for this chore (of changing a zinc anode) is a pathetic b&w picture, on newspaper-thin paper no less, of a propeller shaft with its zinc from the running engine of a sail boat. No other diagrams and/or descriptions were provided for the multitude of other zinc arrangements found today. The author's experience seems to come from his own 20' sailboat. In result, although the cover of the book depicts a powerboat, most maintenance items are pertinent to very basic chores like varnishing. Disappointingly, I was unable to start even the most basic service tasks that I had hoped to accomplish with this book, and will have to keep looking for a more useful source of boating maintenance and repair information.
