Reviews / Votes
'If you love sloshing round the bilge with grease all over your hands, this book is for you.' Motor Boats Monthly (September 2006) 'An easy-to-use, splash-proof, lie-flat reference guide that can be applied to all types and sizes of marine diesel engines... The clear diagrams are simple to understand, making fault finding and trouble shooting easier... A handy onboard companion for all diesel engine users, even if only for the comprehensive laying up and winterising check list.' World Cruising Club Magazine (Autumn/Winter 2006) 'Presented in a splash proof spiral bound format this book is a very useful guide to have as your on board reference book on diesel engines.' Gaffers Log (September 2006) "simple and precise" Canals & Rivers 'wipe clean and ring-bound into a handy-sized, simple and easily understood diesel engine guide. ... A minimum of jargon that won't become illegible the moment it is touched by a greasy finger ... likely to save far more than its purchase price ... as well as the skipper's sanity.'
