Content:

An outboard engine is simple to use but can seem obscure and complex as soon as it breaks down. With the help of this book, trouble-free boating is within your grasp.

The aim of this book, with its superb step by step photographs and detailed diagrams, is to enable every owner to understand the workings of an outboard motor (2 or 4 stroke) and be able to fix it with relative ease. It includes:
- And explanation of the different parts that make up the engine and how they interact.
- How fuel is transformed into propulsion
- Regular maintenance and repair worksheets to help even the most mechanically ignorant to work on their outboard engine with confidence.
- The most common couses of breakdown.
- Troubleshooting tables to allow you to diagnose and fix the most common engine problems
- Advice on how to winterise you outboard in one short afternoon

After reading this book, your outboard engine will no longer be a potencial bother to you but an ally for better boating.
