Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting

“Ed Sherman is one of America’s great teachers and communicators of marine technology.”--Tim Murphy, Executive Editor, Cruising World

Whether you are a marine electronics professional or a boatowner, Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting helps you understand the new, more powerful methods of troubleshooting marine electrical and electronic systems. A modern boat’s sophisticated installations and networked electronics can stretch the traditional diagnostic methods based on trouble lights and multimeters past their useful limits. This book will show you how to:

• Use microprocessor-based diagnostic tools and techniques from the automotive and communications sectors, adapted for boats for the first time
• Diagnose the most difficult AC and DC problems
• Protect communications and navigation electronics from interference and lightning
• Seek out and eliminate stray-current sources and galvanic corrosion
