This manual takes both novice and experienced boatowners through minor and major repairs of electrical systems, engines, electronics, steering systems, generators, pumps, cookers, spares and rigging.
When it was first published in 1990, this book broke new ground. It was hailed as the first truly DIY manual for boatowners and has sold in its thousands ever since.

There have been significant changes in boat systems since then, particularly electrical systems, and this edition has been fully updated to reflect these developments.
