Boat Maintenance books are a good place to start for a whole manner of issues you might be having with your yacht or boat. Choose from a wide variety of titles that will teach you about boat wiring, electronics on-board your boat, how a boats diesel engine works, how an outboard engine works and crucially how to look after it. Or perhaps you're not completely happy with the layout of your boats interior, read up on fitting out a boat when it has a fibreglass or wooden hull.
Currently a very popular topic is complete boat & yacht restoration, view the colour photo's and in depth diagrams on just how to go about such a daunting task. Corrosion repair and how to avoid it on your boat is also a very popular topic, and well worth having a book in your collection to help.
