Mike WestinReplacing Your Boat's Electrical System (Adlard Coles Manuals)

This book is an excellent guide for wiring boat electrics. It is geared towards a UK/EU audience but if you have any basic electricity knowledge you will still find this extremely helpful if you're in the USA. I like it because it doesn't get so far in the weeds with theory that the author forgets why he writing the book. It's basic but in depth on how to do what you need to make your boat safe. I'm a retired electronics technician and would recommend this book to anyone who is going to do any electrical work on a boat from fully rewiring to small job.

The book delivers on its promise with the planning and refit for a classic sailboat. This book focuses on replacing the electrical system. While it digs deep into the planning phase, It was a bit short on the specific installation directions. There was plenty of information for a DYI to get started. The book uses metric/European products, so keep that in mind. I had very little trouble converting the data to make it work for us.I recommend this book and the other Adlard Coles Manuals for DYI sailboat projects!

All this book has is his project on his sailboat, I was under the impression it had more information on the electrical systems in all types of vessels. I dont think I learned one thing except that he had a heck of a project to get done.

This book was written with mostly metric references for wiring and other items. However, the illustrations and procedures are well written and overcome the conversion issues. Chapters are devoted to specific tasks in replacing and updating the boat electrical system and are very useful. If you have a boat that needs some electrical upgrades, this is a great tool.

So much help. Thanks. I have learned so much from this book. I have read it a few times now and the information is great.

Great product

This book is for sailboat and inboards. Not for center consoles and fishing boats.It is not a book to use as a planning tool. If you can use this book you need to pay someone to design and install an electrical system for uou.

Truly helpful! help me navigate through my upgrades.
