Diesel engines are a common feature on yachts, large motorboats, and even some smaller vessels. While professional assistance is often readily available, there are instances when it may not be. Indeed, engine failure is one of the primary reasons for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) launches. This comprehensive book aims to provide readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent problems, troubleshoot, and make repairs using safe and effective techniques. It can also help save you money on costly yard work that you can undertake yourself.
Diesels Afloat covers a wide range of topics, including the workings of diesel engines, engine electrics, fault finding, and out-of-season layup. With this guide and the engine's manual, you can maximize the performance of your boat's engine and feel confident in dealing with any issues that may arise. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in boating, whether they are seasoned sailors or beginners.
In addition to covering the RYA Diesel Engine and MCA Approved Engine (AEC-1) courses, this edition has been thoroughly modernized and updated by former course lecturer and current chief engineer on merchant ships, Callum Smedley. His extensive experience and expertise in the field make him an ideal author for this book.
So, whether you are a boat owner or enthusiast, Diesels Afloat is a must-have guide that will help you maintain and improve your diesel engine, ensuring that you and your passengers have a safe and enjoyable boating experience.
