Know Your Boat : The Guide to Everything That Makes Your Boat Work

Know Your Boat is here to rescue the millions of boaters who have always been afraid to peer into their boat?s innards for fear of what they?ll find. Here at last is the humorous, user-friendly guide that will give a timid skipper the courage to grab a wrench and tame the savage beast in the bilge (or at least make its acquaintance). Assuming no mechanical aptitude, David Kroenke provides readers with an easy-to-read introduction to the use and maintenance of the many systems found on today?s typical power or sail boat, including: engine, electricity, electronics, plumbing, refrigeration, windlasses, pumps, and steering system.
