Question:
As the owner of a new (for me) used boat with not much experience in boat
repair and maintenance, I am looking for a very basic but comprehensive
how-to guide, with illustrations etc. The Nigel Calder book, Boatowners
Mechanical and Electrical Manual, looks quite good. Any recommendations on
this or other books?
Answer:
what you have listed is a good start. I alwqys recommend Don Casey's
book, This Old Boat. Any of the other Don Casey books. They are somewhat
slanted toward sail boats. Also DIY Boatowner magazine (They are on the Web)
is a good magazine as is This Old Boat Magazine.
