Boat Electrics and Electronics - Good Reference Book Recomendations

[Deleted member 36384]

Hi,

I have a basic working knowledge on boat electric circuits. I have an awareness knowledge level of electronics.

I would like to be sufficiently proficient to instal new or trouble shoot existing systems.

What would fellow forumites recommend as good reading material for typical yacht leisure marine electrical and electronic installations. I would prefer a book that tends towards a more practical style than a theoretical style.

Thanks

I scanned through a pal's copy of this book by Don Casey recently, and am planning on getting one for myself - he explains things very nicely.

And I suppose you cannot go wrong if you have a copy of Nigel Calder's bible to hand.
