Märksõnad:
A clear, concise and logical introduction to boat electrics. An understanding of this subject is essential for any skipper—salt water is a harsh environment for wires and chips and problems can occur at any time, both in harbour and at sea. Featuring fantastic, clear, colour graphics.

Topics include:

  • What is electricity?
  • Where electricity comes from (the engine, shore power, a generator, renewable sources).
  • How the boat is wired.
  • Instruments.
  • Laptops.
  • Charging the batteries.
  • Troubleshooting.
