Boatowner's Wiring Manual is a user-friendly, practical manual for all onboard electrical projects - from fixing loose connections to rewiring the entire boat. Simple, clear and abundantly illustrated, it is the key to understanding and customising all aspects of a boat's electrical systems. DC and AC wiring materials and techniques are all covered, as are batteries, alternators, inverters, generators, corrosion control, and alternative energy installations (solar, wind and water). There are detailed instructions for wiring radios and navigation equipment, installing cabin lights, navigation lights, burglar alarms, battery charge indicators, bilge alarms, and much more. Extensive tables summarise the most important specifications in a quick-reference format. This book, from an author who specialises in making the complex simple, will be a godsend for all boatowners.
