An excellent comprehensive book with a great balance of textual detail and diagrams. Have always wondered how these below-deck beasts work and what the differences were between them and there land-based automotive cousins. Great companion for any serious motorised sailboating enthusiasts.

Great read and a great resource for anyone who owns a boat and works on it.

Nigel is simply the BEST - and he became an honorary crew member when my husband and I sailed around the world...his directions are clear, straightforward and, yes, he literally walks you through the troubleshooting steps to diagnose the problem to actually repairing it.

Don't leave shore without Nigel if you have a diesel engine on your boat.

[Jim George]

Honestly, the only diesel engine book that you need aboard.

I am thinking what is inside the book. I need to have the latest edition of this book. Marines Diesel Engines by Nigel Calder, Copy Wright 2007
