Comments about International Marine Boatowner's Mechanical & Electrical Manual 3rd Edition:
Nigel Calder is the electrical authority. As with all of his books there is much good info here. For the occasional electrician there is much info you may never be needed. That is not meant as a criticism, just a point. This book by Calder is my choice for electrical bible.
