DESCRIPTION:
It covers selecting the right size and type of engine, deciding on transmission and stern gear, designing new bearers, fitting fuel tanks, filters and exhaust systems, installing electronics, instruments and engine controls, evaluating marine batteries and charge control systems, choosing the right propeller and fitting sacrificial anodes. With the new engine installed and sea trials complete, Peter Cumberlidge looks at how auxiliary equipment can be fitted to take full advantage of the available power: adding a new hot water system, ducted cabin heating, an engine-driven fridge and a hydraulic anchor winch.. This book covers all the factors relevant to choosing and installing a new diesel engine, whether the work will be done by the owner or entrusted to a boatyard or engineer

Eric said Very good book. A must have for any bluewater sailor.. I was pleased with the book. Great for replacing an existing engine but not so much on building new. Has many great ideas on adding accessories to motor such as water heaters and hydraulics etc. Definitely a must have book if changing type of engine. Covers engine mount options very w
And if you decide to leave the job to the boatyard, you'll know exactly what to expect when the bill arrives. In researching and replacing his boat s engine, Cumberlidge learned a lot of useful information, which he shares in this comprehensive, well-illustrated book, now in its second edition. It explains the process of choosing and installing an engine and all its ancillaries in enough cold, hard detail to make you realize exactly what you might be getting yourself into. One sailor who took the plunge and re-powered his boat is Peter Cumberlidge, who not only lived to tell about the experience but wrote a book about it as well, appropriately titled How to Install a New Diesel Engine. (Boatworks) . Very comprehensive!
