Since I have used Charlie Wing’s first edition of the Boatowner’s Illustrated Electrical Handbook as a text for some of my electrical courses over the years, I am quite familiar with its contents. I’ve just finished reviewing the second edition and can say without reservation that it is more than just an update. The diagrams are dramatically improved and the topics covered are really comprehensive, just what’s needed in today’s world of ever increasing complexity on newer boats.
This second edition is perfect for learning how your boat’s electrical system and much of its equipment works, and it will be an invaluable guide when adding equipment as well. Further, Charlie Wing has remained faithful to the recommendation and application of the standards for installation and equipment as set forth by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). As the senior technical instructor for the ABYC and its curriculum designer I really appreciate the effort throughout the book to advise the reader on how to make repairs and modifications to his or her boat and remain compliant with the most recognized design and repair standards for recreational boats in the world. We at the ABYC know full well that adherence to these standards make a better, safer boat.
I have already begun recommending this second edition to my students and seminar participants, and will continue to do so. This book needs to be in every boater’s library as a ready reference on how to make effective repairs and modifications that comply with ABYC standards. Ed Sherman
