The Adlard Coles Book of Outboard Motors

Aimed at boatowners rather than experienced mechanics, The Adlard Coles Book of Outboard Motors

is a boon to anyone who puts to sea with an outboard engine. Covering

both 2 and 4 stroke engines, the book explains how even the

most sophisticated of modern outboards use simple processes to convert

fuel to power, and then looks at each of the sub-systems that allow

those processes to take place:





- the fuel system





- the ignition system





- cooling and lubrication





- the electrical system





- transmission and controls











The book includes sections on routine maintenance and fault finding,

and even has a photo sequence showing the vital first aid required to

save the life of an outboard engine that has been dropped overboard!
