Contenido:

From fixing a loose connection to rewiring an entire boat, this user-friendly and practical manual is an indispensable resource for all on-board electrical projects. Simple, clear and abundantly illustrated, it is the key to understanding, maintaining and upgrading your boat´s electrical systems.

Charles Wing explains DC and AC wiring systems including batteries, alternators, inverters, generators, bonding, grounding, corrosion control and alternative energy installations (solar, wind and water power). There are detailed instructions for wiring radios and navigation equipment, installing cabin lights, navigation lights, burglar alarms, battery charge indicators, bilge alarms, and mucho more. The second edition includes new 3D perspective drawing, and extensive tables summarise the most important specifications in a handy quick-reference format.

From an author who specialises in making the complex simple, this book is an absolute must for all boat owners.
