5.0 out of 5 stars Will Keep Your Dinghy Motor Running, February 5, 2010

Ken Douglas (Landlocked in Reno) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Outboard Troubleshooter (Paperback)

I can't say enough about this handy book. It's saved me dough, it'll save you some too and that's what it's supposed to be all about, keeping our money in our pockets and not the hands of experts. Mr. White assumes you have no experience in mucking about with an outboard as he teaches you about the 20 most common problems you're likely to experience with your dinghy motor. Yes there are times when you have to defer to the pros and Mr. White is honest about telling you when, but if you follow his advice, it won't be often.
