12-Volt Doctor's Practical Handbook, revised edition - Book

Covers basic electricity, switches, troubleshooting, engine instruments, safety standards, solar power, batteries, pumps, electrolytic corrosion. Practical solutions to common problems.

Edgar J. Beyn wrote the 12-Volt Doctor's Practical Handbook so boat owners could find and fix electrical problems aboard before calling in a technician. It assumes no prior electrical experience and starts with the basics before moving on to maintaining a 12-volt system.

Later chapters cover using zincs, lightning protection, and engine instruments and alarms, and the chapter on electrolytic corrosion is regarded as a definitive treatment of the subject. The book is comb-bound so it lays flat on a nav table or engine-room step while you work.
