Summary: Worth waiting for!
Comment: When you are looking for a simple explanation to a complicated set of directions you usually ask a friend, not in this case, just look at the book. I found Peter Compton's book a very helpful and interesting guide to trouble shooting your way out of a frustrating situation. I am teaching marine engineers and running courses for weekend sailors and would have no hesitation in urging them to buy a copy for their book shelf. The diagrams are first class and I use the book as an example to my students. Well done Peter for giving me the tools to make the job easier.

Summary: Without the book we would not have found the problem...
Comment: Last Friday evening I gave your book to a friend as a gift. The next day we all went out on their boat to enjoy the Fleet Week festivities. About 1 mile offshore the engine just quit, no warning just quit running. The first thing we did was to drop the hook, the second was to get your book out.
We went down the trouble shooting tree, checking each item and following the Yes-No flow. Well, 45 minutes later we had the engine running. The beauty of it was that without the book we would have NOT found the problem. (The problem was in the fuel return line) Without the book we would never had thought to check there for the problem.
Needless to say my friends just LOVE your book.

Summary: Think like a Diesel Mechanic!!!!
Comment: When you read this book you suddenly realise that diesel engines are extremely reasonable creatures that behave or misbehave for reasons that are usually very predictable.
The main problem with owning a diesel engine is that you can pay a "diesel" mechanic a lot of money for him to find the cause of a problem,and then pay a lot more for to fix it.
The whole process can be made a lot cheaper and quicker with this book as it explains, in simple english, how to troubleshoot your way from the symptom back to its most likely cause.
So even if you don't intend to do any of the work yourself, Trouble Shooting Marine Diesels puts you on a resonably equal information-footing with a mechanic and stops them exploiting your ignorance in order to pay for their childrens' college education.
