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!
