More and more sailors and powerboaters are buying and relying on electronic and electric devices aboard their boats, but few are aware of proper installation procedures or how to safely troubleshoot these devices if they go on the blink.
Fortunately, this highly successful handbook gives ail the information you need to select,
install, maintain and troubleshoot any electrical or electronic system on a boat.
This fully revised new edition has been expanded to cover the Internet, e-mail, GMDSS,
updated radio frequencies and much, much more. The clear, concise text is supplemented
with hundreds of informative charts, wiring diagrams and graphs.
Worldwide praise for the first edition:

"Everything a sailor could possibly want to know about marine electronics is here as a reference
book on the subject it is outstanding." Classic Boat
"On electrics, the best book by far we have come across is The Marine Electrical and
Electronics Bible." Motor Boat and Yachting
"...a concise, useful and thoroughly practical guide... It's a 'must have on board' book." Sailing Inland
and Offshore
"A very thorough 'Bible' indeed... It covers both maintenance and troubleshooting in a concise and
practical manner" Muhihull International.
