This excellent textbook has already gained world popularity. Note, however, that it is mainly intended to be used by the owners of the boats rather than ship engineers. The content has been presented in a very readable way and any use of professional jargon has been avoided to make sure that the book can be helpful to non-professionals.
This latest fourth edition of the publication has been fully revised and thoroughly reworked; it now includes many updates reflecting all recent advances as well as numerous colorful images and illustrations, informative data diagrams and other supplemental information.
The volume features remarkable coverage including everything that the boat owners shall be aware of in order to maintain and service the diesel engine in a safe and effective way. The author has explained in detail the whole process taking place inside the diesel engine, i.e. how exactly the fuel is converted to the power moving the boat forward.
All sub-systems have been paid due attention together with the various tools used on board, winterizing of the boat engine etc. many practical and valuable tips and instructions have been provided by the author including useful tables for troubleshooting.
