    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART GUIDE TO THE LATEST, MOST ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES

    ?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

    Veteran marine electrician Ed Sherman is the senior staff writer for the American Boat and Yacht Council. He also serves as ABYC?s manager of quality control for instructional staff and marine-systems curriculum designer. He is a regular contributor to Professional Boatbuilder, Cruising World, and other boating magazines, and has authored or coauthored three other books about marine electrical systems and engines.
