Motori marini: manuali generali di manutenzione e riparazione

Diesel Engines - An Owner's Guide to Operation and Maintenance

This practical guide explains fundamental principles and details the individual systems of diesel engines, including fuel, cooling, and others. It covers both conventional Mechanical Fuel Injection Systems and modern Electronic Fuel Injection Systems.

The book includes maintenance checklists and explains engine operation during warm-up, normal running, and shutdown. Illustrated step-by-step instructions make tasks clear and achievable.

By combining the explanations of basic engine systems with information from the manufacturer's operating manual, routine maintenance and minor repairs can be performed even by nontechnical boat owners, without the need for special tools or advanced knowledge.

Troubleshooting Marine Diesel Engines

This hands-on guide offers a richly illustrated approach to diesel engine maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair, making the subject accessible even for boatowners accustomed to gasoline engines. Diesel engines are safer and increasingly common, and this manual removes the intimidation factor for users.

Following the format of the International Marine Sailboat Library, every step is illustrated, allowing work to be guided entirely by visuals. The second chapter presents extensive troubleshooting charts, followed by system-specific sections to quickly identify and resolve issues.

Covered diesel engine systems include mechanical, lubrication, fresh- and raw-water cooling, low- and high-pressure fuel, exhaust, starting, charging, transmission, and stern gear.

Les Moteurs In-bord & hors-bord - Connaître et entretenir

With over 30 years of experience at Volvo Marine, Jean-Philippe Totot shares his knowledge of modern boat engines. Marine engines have changed significantly: inboard petrol engines are no longer offered, four-stroke outboards have replaced older two-strokes, accessories are more reliable, and electrical systems are better suited for marine use.

Today's engines are dependable and quiet, but like any machine, they require regular checks and proper maintenance to ensure safe and trouble-free boating.
Totot's long career has shown that boat owners often ask the same questions:
- Why is my engine overheating?
- Why won't it start?
- Why did it stop?

This practical guide helps readers understand their engines and teaches basic troubleshooting and maintenance skills. It is especially useful for those who prefer to handle routine care themselves, while also explaining when professional help is necessary.

The guide covers inboard diesel engines from 10 to 150 hp (including propulsion and generators), and petrol outboard engines from 2 to 25 hp, used on boats and tenders.
