Engines : A Boat Owner's Guide to Operation and Maintenance
by Leo Block
Our Price: $11.95
Paperback - 143 pages (April 1991)
In this amply illustrated and straightforward guide, Leo Block, an old Navy hand, sets himself the formidable task of filling the gap between what you learn from your engine's owner's manual (almost nil) and what you find in the technician's service manual (far too much). It should be stressed that this book is not designed to teach the novice how to fix a broken diesel. The doit-yourself suggestions are strictly limited to the routine service procedures you'd find in the most cursory owner's manual: changing the lubricating oil, ensuring a clean fuel supply, replacing filters, bleeding air from oil lines, etc. The question arises, then, whether this book is filling a much-needed void.

by Richard Thiel
Our
Price: $11.95
Paperback - 96 pages (December 1991)
Presents a survival guide for the owners of diesel-powered watercraft of
all types and sizes. Using the premise that the reader knows little about engines of any
kind, Thiel gives a brief and painless overview of how diesel engines work and outlines an
easily followed operating guide and preventive maintenance procedure that will
dramatically extend the lives of marine engines. This book is not about how to conduct
major repairs or how to rebuild a diesel.

Price: $124.95
Hardcover 7th edition (September
1998)
A
resource for seagoing engineers and students working toward certification, updated
frequently since its first appearance in 1950 to reflect changes in engine design and the
influence of new technology and economic needs of marine diesel engines. Includes new
material on principles and theory, engine selection, and high-speed engines for fast
ferries and other craft. Other topics include gas- diesel engines, reducing noxious
exhaust emissions, pressure charging, fuel injection, and specific engines from 18
manufacturers. Well illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
This new edition has been completely re-written and re-structured, while retaining the directness of approach and attention to essential detail that characterized its predecessors. There are new sections covering principles and theory, and engine selection, and important developments such as the use of high speed diesel engines (for instance in fast ferry craft) are treated in full. In addition, numerous illustrations of all the listed types of engines appear in their relevant chapters.

Hardcover - 173 pages (December 24,
1997)
This densely illustrated, hands-on guide to diesel engine maitenance, troubleshooting, and repair renders its subject more user-friendly than ever before.

As in other volumes in the International Marine Sailboat Library, every step of every procedure is illustrated, so that users can work from the illustrations alone. The troubleshooting charts in the second chapter-probably the most comprehensive ever published-are followed by system-specific chapters, allowing readers to quickly diagnose problems, then turn to the chapter with solutions
