Mike 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. He is the author of two previous books in this series - Replacing Your Boat's Engine and Upgrading Your Boat's Interior.

The third in a series of 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. It is a subject covered only in piecemeal fashion by the yachting press, which, like general boat repair manuals, can't go into the level of detail Mike Westin does in this superlative volume.

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

a Do it Yourself guide to stripping out and upgrading your boat's electrics, by an author who's actually done it himself.

Logical, clear and aided by good illustrations

A practical, step-by-step illustrated guide to replacing a boat's electrical system, this book fills a gap in the market for the DIY boat repairer or builder who wants less theory and more instructive detail.
