Boat Mechanical Systems Handbook: How to Design, Install, and Recognize Proper Systems in Boats

av Dave Gerr
The First Ever Guide for Optimizing Boat Systems

this guide is invaluable for anyone designing or installing mechanical systems on a new boat, retrofitting an existing boat, or evaluating a boat's operating condition. writing for designers, builders, owners, buyers, mechanics, surveyors, and insurers of sailboats, powerboats, and commercial vessels, dave gerr provides design and installation guidance for each major mechanical system plus pragmatic guidelines and real-world interpretations of american boat & yacht council (abyc) and european standards. no marine professional or serious boater should be without Boat Mechanical Systems Handbook.

"Dave Gerr has a knack for breaking down the more esoteric concepts of naval architecture into language thats easily understood by the layman, which is one of the reasons why his writing often appears in the pages of sail. Another reason is his deep practical knowledge of the intricacies and subtleties of boat construction and systems, and the way they relate to each other. The subhead of boat mechanical systems handbook says it all--'how to design, install and recognize proper systems in boats.' Light reading this isnt, but if youre about to refit your boat or upgrade outdated systems, perhaps with some serious voyaging in mind, this book is a worthwhile investment. This is a unisex book, for both powerboaters and sailors; theres no mention of sailing rigs, but every other conceivable system is covered more or less exhaustively."
