Jean-Luc Pallas’ Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance and Repair Manual is the go-to reference for sailors, marine engineers, and DIY boat owners who need clear, step-by-step guidance on diesel upkeep. This 2008 Rowman & Littlefield paperback packs 238 illustrated pages of practical know-how into a sturdy, workshop-friendly format.
Every system—from fuel injection to cooling—is explained in plain English, turning complex marine engineering into weekend projects. Owners praise the book’s logical flow and detailed photos that make troubleshooting less intimidating.
This copy shows only faint yellowing on the first two page edges; otherwise it’s crisp, unmarked, and free of smoke or musty smells. At just under a kilo, it’s substantial enough to stay open on an engine box yet light enough for onboard storage.
Grab this clean used edition and keep your diesel purring without pricey yard bills.
