Description

After many years in the boating industry and writing countless articles for your favorite boating magazines, John Fleming has put his wealth of knowledge into his new book, The Complete Guide To Outboard Engines.This book starts with the difference in design and power between the two-cycle outboard and its new brother, the four-cycle outboard.As with John's, Complete Guide To Gasoline Marine Engines, these pages take the reader deep inside the engine by discussing the design, function and results of the entire engine system and drive unit. The book's design allows the reader to start with the basics and progress through each skill level until a thorough understanding of engines is achieved.This book also delves deeply into the technical aspects of outboard engines, but the information remains extremely easy to understand and follow throughout each step.You will not find another book that will explain outboard engines as completely or easily as this book.One fact remains; when you have read, The Complete Guide To Outboard Engines, you will be the most popular person on the dock every Saturday morning.Illustrated Read more

  • Excellent discussion of the theory and operation of two cycle engines
This is a very readable book and would be usefull to anyone that owns a two stroke engine of any kind. Theory and "how these things actually work" are both explained in a very easy to understand fasion. I enjoyed this book very much and will add it to my reference library. I was already familiar with four stroke engines and learned a lot from this book. I purchased this book because I bought two stroke outboard for my boat. I then purchased the Mercury Marine technical manual for my motor. Fleming's book was the perfect prerequisite to the Mercury manual because it provides the theoretical background that makes the Mercury manual meaningful. ... show more

  • Good, but needs more diagrams
This book provides a good overview over HOW an outboard works. However, if you don't have a good grasp of technical terms and an engine manual, much of the learning in this book is hard to use. Detailed diagrams and a longer list of defined terms would make this book a 5-star effort.
