The man who wrote this book has spent 20 years repairing and maintaining gas and diesel engines on fishing boats and trawlers in Alaska .
A lot of what he's learned in that time has been captured in this one book.i think a lot of the content appeared in leaflets he prepared when teaching students about engines.
As well as excellent information about engine maintenance, there are all sorts of clever work arounds ,and an excellent trouble shooting section based around " what you see, what you hear"
I have a number of the top diesel books already yet there's something new to learn on every page in this book.
I bought it as a Kindle download but think so much of it I will also buy a copy to keep on my boat
