Just published for Amazon Kindle ... Marine Diesel Engine Basics - A Beginners Guide to Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance.
No matter what your level of experience you can learn the basics of how to repair your marine diesel engine and know that it is properly maintained.
This workshop manual by shipwright Laurence Burgin can explain in easy-to-understand language which marine spare parts you absolutely MUST carry on board and you'll discover how to make emergency boat repairs on the water.
Whether you are a weekend boater or a long-distance sailor you must be able to maintain and repair your marine engine and make running repairs when on the water. Lack of engine knowledge can lead to disaster!
Laurence Burgin is a shipwright with more than 20 years experience on a wide variety of vessels. He also teaches marine diesel engine maintenance for beginners at yacht clubs along the east coast of Australia.
I attended one of Laurence’s marine diesel engine maintenance courses and the knowledge I gained has enabled me to do much of the regular engine maintenance on my boat myself. I still get the service guy from the engine manufacturer to do some of the more complex maintenance but with what I can now do myself I’ve saved thousands of dollars.
More importantly, I have confidence that I can handle a marine engine emergency out on the water!
