Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance and Repair Manual

Education & Reference Transport & Engineering Technology & Computing

Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance and Repair Manual by Jean-Luc Pallas is the go-to onboard reference for sailors, power-boaters, and marine engineering students who need reliable, step-by-step guidance. In clear English, the 2008 Rowman & Littlefield paperback walks readers through diagnosing, servicing, and overhauling diesel engines safely and economically.

The 238-page manual is generously illustrated, turning complex engineering concepts into practical weekend projects. Owners praise its logical sequence—from routine filter swaps to full injector rebuilds—making it a trusted companion for both coastal cruising and offshore passages.

This used copy shows only faint yellowing at the fore-edge of the first two pages; every other page remains crisp, unmarked, and dog-ear-free. Stored in a smoke-free home, it’s ready for the engine room or the classroom without the worry of grease-stained instructions.

At just under a kilo, it fits neatly in the nav-desk locker yet packs enough detail to save costly yard bills. Grab this clean edition and keep your diesel purring season after season.
