Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System

The third in a series of Adlard Coles highly practical, hands on, step-by-step photographic manuals, Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System fills a gap in the market for the DIY boat builder and repairer, and for owners of older second-hand boats.

The electrical system on a boat is crucial for the operation of all manner of useful as well as critical equipment, yet a simple failure or weakness can render these systems inoperable. In older boats fatigued or damaged wiring can be problematical or even terminal, so Mike Westin shows ow to replace a boat's electrical system to ensure fault-free service.

This is a visual, hand-holding guide, concentrating on the all-important details as it explains each procedure rather than focussing on the theory (which is relegated to an appendix, for those who wish to go further).

Micke Westin is a marine journalist and in his spare time a DIY boat repairer. He has owned and worked on a variety of boats, both power and sail, so is fully in tune with what boat builders and repairers need to know when taking on projects of this nature.
