Electricity is vital on board most boats: to keep their systems
running and to provide the crew with the services they expect. Much
of it will be professionally fitted and many yachtsmen will have
little knowledge about the finer detail of electric circuits. But,
given the importance of electrical power, some understanding of it
is likely to be useful: either to use when required away from the
marina or to repair and upgrade your systems. This book is written
to provide that understanding and to allow you to undertake
electrical jobs on board yourself, properly and safely. It removes
the mystique of boat electrics and gives you the confidence to
tackle the jobs when you need to. Included are the minimum formulae
and theory required, focussing more on the practical – using
simple language and clear illustrations. There are tutorials, from
using a multimeter and wiring a circuit, to troubleshooting
electrical faults, all using easy-to-follow photo sequences. The
book also looks at tasks such as choosing solar panels and
batteries and connecting navigational instruments. The book is a
great manual for a yachtsman needing to keep the power flowing. It
has been thoroughly modernised and updated for this new edition by
boating electric wizard Oliver Ballam.
