Contenido:

This book has been extremely popular since it was first published under the title The RYA Book of Outboard Motors. Aimed at boat owners rather than experienced mechanics, Tim Bartlett takes the reader under the cover of an outboard engine and explains in clear, jargon-free language how an outboard motor works and how to look after it. There is even a photo sequence showing the vital first aid needed to save the life of an outboard that has been dropped overboard!

- Covers 2 and 4 stroke engines
- Explains fuel and cooling systems, ignition, electrics and transmission
- Describes how an engine converts fuel into power
- Gives advice on routine maintenance (replacing filters, changing oil, raplacing a starter cord, etc)
- Useful fault finding table
