This book is for the boat owner who is interested in learning the fundamental concepts of diesel engines and desires to minimize the need for expensive repairs and overhaul by proper operation and maintenance of the engine, without delving into fundamental thermodynamic theory.
Copious illustrations and step-by-step instructions are all part of the author's clear, well-organized method of presentation. The boat owner need not be and experienced mechanic to perform routine maintenance chores on his or her engine, and special tools are not required. The explanation of the basic engine systems and routine tasks presented in Diesel Engines, augmented by the manufacturer's operating manual, puts the actual accomplishment of these jobs well within the capability of even an nontechnical boat owner.
