Book Reviews of Troubleshooting Marine Diesels

Book Review: Compton's book is great!
Summary: 5 Stars

My first job was to solve an annoying smoky exhaust. The local mechanic suggested I needed to replace my aging Perkins and was quoting over $10,000, but after following Compton's excellent troubleshooting chapter I quickly narrowed it down to defective injectors nozzles which I had a shop replace for less than $200 !!!. I've since rebuilt the raw water pump, cleaned the heat exchanger and cooling system, and next I'm going to tackle installing the charge booster to improve output on my alternator.

Compton's book is great! It specializes in the topic is well laid out and with all those graphics is very easy to follow. What's more it doesn't get sidetracked into stuff that's no use to me when I'm trying to get my boat going! A great do-it-yourself book that I can truly recommend to any and everyone who's got a diesel engine in their boat.
