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.

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.
