"Solid, Hands-On Information - Easy To Use!" according to A Customer. Beginning with a BRIEF and simple overview of electricity, Beyn outlines 12-volt systems and the marine environment. Hand-drawn diagrams are abundant and very clear. Spiral binding makes it easy to keep as a working reference - lies flat while you tinker. He tells us what we need to know to install and troubleshoot boat electronics and wiring, without a lot of mumbo-jumbo. The only book of it's kind you really need!. BrianD said Great if you can find a good copy. This is a great book. I am a Mechanical Engineer with a fair knowledge of electricity, but clearly not enough as it relates to boats. Well worth seeking out. Unfortunately I believe this book is out of print. The copy I got was used and the glue for the binding started to give up soon after I started reading. It's a book that if I could find a new reprint I would pony up and get another. In the meantime I'll just make do with enjoying the loose pages.. "Every boat owner needs this book!" according to Nukedude. Excellent book for boat owners and includes information that crosses over to cars and household wiring a bit too.Comic book style drawings and clear explanation of what causes corrosion, voltage drops and the efficient and safe way to wire your boat.Covers: switches, wiring, circuit breaker and batteries as well. This also explains why you must replace your zincs and what to use for fasteners on your vessel.My version of the book does not have the spiral binding, but has held up well over
