References & Publications
- Nigel Calder, Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How To Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems, International Marine/McGraw Hill, ISBN 0071432388
- The book that should come as standard equipment on every boat. If you're not sure how to do something, it's probably covered in this book.
- Nigel Calder, Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair, International Marine/McGraw Hill, ISBN 0071475354
- Jean-Luc Pallas, Marine Diesel Engines Maintenance and Repair Manual, Sheridan House, ISBN 1574092367
- I find this a useful reference and step-by-step guide for general engine maintenance tasks in a format that is sometimes easier to follow than Calder's book, although it's not as comprehensive.
- The manufacturer's manual for your engine, whatever type, make or model that should happen to be.
- A parts catalogue for the engine you are servicing. Note that many of the parts that are regularly replaced on most diesel engines, such as oil and fuel filters, morse cables, etc, often have after-market parts that are equivalent. It's important to have a good list of these and find some local suppliers, as well as carry sufficient spares for parts that are likely to need replacing on an ocean voyage (especially in the fuel filtering area).
