Practical Boat Mechanics

Troubleshooting charts lead the reader graphically to the mechanical problems that correspond to the symptoms being experienced. These charts are crossreferenced to the pages where appropriate solutions can be found . The balance of the troubleshooting information is organized around the five senses (what you can see, hear, smell, feel, taste), thus furthering its appeal to the non-mechanically inclined. Work-around fixes get you out of any mechanical jam using ordinary tools and materials found on most boats. These include how to get fuel to your engine by gravity when the fuel pump breaks; how to replace a head gasket with a cheerios box; and how to replace a fan belt with a rope. PB 320pp
