Boat Engines & Systems Books

Most sailors rely on their engine more than they would like to admit, so it pays to understand how it works and how to keep it running. This collection covers marine diesel engines, outboard motors, troubleshooting, routine maintenance and the mechanical systems that keep a boat going.

You will find introductory guides for owners who want to handle basic servicing themselves, alongside more detailed references for those tackling a full engine rebuild or diagnosing a problem at sea. The RYA Diesel Engine Handbook is a good starting point if you are new to marine engines.
