Here at last is the long awaited third edition of the world s most comprehensive electrical and electronics handbook for sailors. More and more boaters are buying and relying on electronic and electrical devices aboard their boats, but few are aware of proper installation procedures or how to safely troubleshoot these devices if they go on the blink. Now they can find all the information they need in this one complete handbook. The author has put together a concise, useful, and thoroughly practical guide explaining in detail how to select, install, maintain, and troubleshoot all the electrical and electronic systems on a boat. This new edition is fully updated and contains information on battery capacity, charging systems, wiring, lightning and corrosion protection, radar, autopilots, VHF and SSB radios, Short-wave communications, GMDSS, GPS, EPIRBs and much more. The book is illustrated with hundreds of informative charts, wiring diagrams and graphs.

Summary: marine electrical and electronic bible payne
Comment: Must have for all boaters and workers in the industry.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Useful
Comment: 10 years ago I used this book to engineer and install the electrical system on an old 60's vintage sailboat. Since then, the boat has been sailed extensively and the system has performed flawlessly. The information on batteries, energy management, and charging is invaluable.
I work in a boatyard, and can honestly say that because of this book there are not many boats that are wired as well as mine.

Summary: Good Book not Perfect
Comment: It took me a bit to get used to the format of the book, its all outline style, point 1, 1a 1b etc. I did catch some mistakes in some tables... it seemed that wiring sizes in one table were different than another table. I wish some areas had more detailed infomration. But there is a LOT of information here, and he covers every category I can think of. I am currently in the process of rewiring my DC and it is very helpful. I use it in conjunction with Nigel Calder's book, and each has good info. Over all I prefer Calder, but like having both.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for powerboaters
Comment: It was very hard to tell from the description or the reviews that the book is almost exclusively designed for the wind-borne sailor. For example there is very little on multiple alternator charging systems and all pictures of boats are of sailboats.
As a result I have a brand new copy for sale.

Summary: The Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible
Comment: This book gives an overabundance of information about the electrical and electonic system aboard a boat. Some of the diagrams are not accurate i.e. the thing the author is trying to explain will not work if you construct it the way he is suggesting you should.
