"If the reader faithfully follows the author's maintenance procedures, he may well find that he need never call upon the services of a diesel mechanic, and that alone makes this book well worth the price." --
Sailing"This is one of the best-illustrated engine books ever, Calder explains basic concepts in a thoroughly enjoyable way." --

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair (Hardcover)
I bought this in conjunction with Peter Compton's book. I like booth. Calder is more detailed and more informative, but I find Compton easier to understand and more direct. If I have an engine problem I might start with Compton's book to narrow the possibilites down and Calder's book for detailed explanation. This book is somewhat redundant with Calder's "Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual" which is definitely a must have. Overall, great book and well worth the money. Would I buy again? Definitely
