For boat owners replacing an ageing engine, the range of compact modern diesels can be bewildering. This clear and instructive book covers all the factors relevant to choosing and installing a new diesel engine, whether the work will be done by the owner or entrusted to a boatyard or engineer.

From start to finish, Peter Cumberlidge explains how to achieve a safe, well-engineered installation:

Selecting the right size and type of engine - Deciding on transmissions and stern-gear - Designing new engine bearers - Fitting fuel thanks, filters and exhaust systems - Installing electrics, instruments and engine controls - Evaluating marine batteries and charge control systems - Choosing the right propeller and fitting sacrificial anodes
