Description
Essential Boat Electrics removes the mystique of boat electrics. It shows you how to carry out many electrical jobs on board properly and safely. Included are tutorials, from using a multimeter and wiring and protecting a circuit, to troubleshooting electrical faults and connecting a PC to your instrument system. The book looks at tasks such as choosing solar panels and batteries, as well as practical electrical work on your boat; a great manual for a yachtsman needing to keep the juice flowing.
