need to start swatting, buying a boat , know only very basics re boat electrics, dont want to get legged over by boat yards & want to be able to understand whats necesary for maintenance, even better if theres a good Penta / engine book also
- thx J.
 
Nigel Calder's Boatowner's Mechanical & Electrical Manual is an essential tome for the boatowner IMHO
 
This should give you all the advice you need.



Right Click 12V bible <u> <span style="color:red"> and select save target as. </span></u>

It is quite large but worth the wait.....
 
Electrics and Electronics for Small Craft by John French published by Adlard Coles. ISBN 0 229 11612 4
This is an old book first published in 1973 but it covers the basics very well.
 
Nigel CAlder for Boat Electrics. There are various volvo manuals on line, which one do you want as volvo have done a range of totally different engines over the years..

The common thing no matter what is to keep its oil clean by regular changes and keep the fuel to the fuel pumps clean ..

Depending which Volvo engine various folk here can help...My speciality is the MD1 2 and 3 A and B series.

What an excellent item this appears to be. I have downloaded and saved (I think) and will have a good browse later.

Nigel Calder is only good-ish. When I had some serious trouble with my engine harness (like saltwater got into it - saltwater? in a sailing boat? ) I found it somewhat wanting. Far, far better than nothing, and maybe better than most, but I came to the conclusion that if I had investigated every bit of my wiring before I had a problem, I would have been a lot better off. I should add that the nub of the problem was that I didnt have a wiring diagram from the manufacturer! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Go back to the link and do the right click and save as again, do not press save this time though. The window that opens should tell you where you saved to the first time, probably C:\my documents.

Hope that helps, if not do a search of your hard disks using pdf as your search string, which will show all the pdf docs on your machine.
