Marine engines
are covered as well as converting an auto engine for marine use,
with photos of the entire process for a typical automotive conversion.
Also covered in detail are: matching motor and boat, installing
the required hardware, aligning the motor, transmission types
including vee-drives, stern-drives, and jet drives, exhaust systems,
tanks and fuel systems, rudders and steering systems, controls
and instrumentation, electrical systems, cooling systems, engine
ventilation, trimplates, and much more. Written in non-technical,
easy-to-understand language so that even the novice can master
this often misunderstood subject.
The authors
are both boat designers with many years of experience in designing
and working with all sorts of powerboats and sailboat auxiliaries,
and realize the problems that confront the amateur. They've written
this book to allow you to do a professional installation.
