"'Electrical problems are not an inevitable part of cruising and racing. An acceptable level of reliability is possible, and in fact is necessary,' says author John Payne. His Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible will help you achieve this reliability with detailed information on selecting, installing, maintaining and troubleshooting all the electrical and electronic systems on your boat. The information is presented in classic textbook style, accompanied by tables, graphs, and wiring diagrams to make the information easy to find and understand. Each chapter is dedicated to a system, which is explained and thoroughly analyzed. This new edition is fully updated to include modern systems and new technologies." -- SAIL, May 2007
"...perhaps the most easy-to-follow electrical reference to date...." -- Cruising World

This new edition is expanded to include advances in marine electronics, including the Internet, email, GMDSS, and updated radio frequencies. The easy-to-follow reference handbook advises, with diagrams, how to select, install, maintain, and troubleshoot onboard electrical or electronic systems. It includes a three-language electrical glossary, a worldwide service directory, and a listing of marine electrical suppliers. --Cruising World, September 1999
You might think Bible is overstating the case a little, and perhaps from a strictly Christian perspective it is. But from any other viewpoint the word is apt. Everything a sailor could possibly want to know about marine electrics and electronics is here, very sensibly gathered in clearly signposted chapters, complemented by over 150 line drawings and 105 tables. The book starts with the basics: batteries and how to charge them, before moving on to wiring and lighting systems, water and engine systems and the old AC/DC quandaries. You know you re dealing with someone who s serious about his subject when you get nine pages on lightening protections alone, including intimate meteorological details of how lighting is generated and what to do in a lightening storm. Other interesting inclusions are a section on galvanic action, another on water systems, including plumbing details, plus a brief but illuminating (!) discourse on using alternative forms of energy for recharging. The second half of the book gets to grips with some serious electronics, extending to peripherals associated with electrical equipment such as radar reflectors including the rather disturbing claim that blind spots in a conventional octahedral reflector add up to nearly 180 degrees when the boat is heeled, even if they are not fitted correctly, which 70-8- percent are not! Helpful information is inserted along the way, such as the phonetic alphabet and radio frequencies for weather forecast the US, the UK and Australia only I m afraid.
Unless you happen to be an electrics/tronics nut, this isn t a cover-to-cover bedside read, but as a reference book on the subject it is outstanding. --Classic Boat, July 1995
