Media Reviews
...you will definitely find it an interesting read...if you get stuck on water, you'll be glad you've got it. (Motor Boats Monthly, June 2007) From the invention of the diesel engine to maintenance and troubleshooting, this comprehensive guide has it all...thorough and accessible. (Yachting Monthly, June 2007) If you have a diesel engine in your boat, keep this book afloat with it... (Boat Mart, August 2007) 'I found the book very informative. It is always a great bonus when one increases one's knowledge on the subject contained within the book. I am a great believer in pictures and diagrams which can say a hundred words, so the book was a pleasure to read. The other thing I liked is when you have given a formula to calculate a requirement you have given a working example. It is really good to see the process from beginning to end.' (Andrew Hall)
