The Adlard Coles Book of Outboard Motors, previously known as The RYA Book of Outboard Motors, is aimed at boatowners, rather than experienced mechanics. Covering both 2 and 4 stroke engines, it explains how even the most sophisticated of modern outboards use simple processes to convert fuel to power, and then looks at each of the sub-systems that allow those processes to take place: the fuel system the ignition system cooling and lubrication the electrical system transmission and controls. The book includes sections on routine maintenance and fault finding, and even has a photo sequence showing the vital first aid required to save the life of an outboard engine that has been dropped overboard! It will be a boon to anyone who puts to sea with an outboard engine. 'Explains in clear, jargon-free English how an outboard works and how to look after it' Kelvin Hughes 'An excellent book, well thought out and well written' Motorboats Monthly

Review:

'This book continues to be one of the clearest on the subject. Written for owners rather than mechanics it gives clear and concise advice on all aspects of keeping your outboard free from problems through to solving them when they do arise.' Gaffers Log (September 2006)
