ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR SMALL-FISHING-BOAT

The majority of fishermen use small trailer boats. Small trailer boats have very different problems to large power and motorboats (and sailboats). Many trailer fishing boats sit back at the house in the driveway or back yard for many months and take the full brunt of the sun and rain between each use. When the boats are taken out, they get coated in salt spray. When they come back to the house many boats are then washed down with the high pressure of garden hoses or high pressure washers, and this often penetrates electrical and electronics equipment.

The batteries also sit for long periods without proper charging and as they discharge or cycle this also leads to reduced life and early failure. So where does this lead to? Misery and frustration when you go out on the water. If you are going to invest all that money in a boat and you value your leisure time and fishing then you need to properly maintain your boat systems. All About Small-Fishing-Boats and Fishing

Some Reviews on The Fisherman's Electrical Manual

He speaks our language.....If there was ever a book to make the marine electrical system understandable, this is the book. If there was ever a book that will give every boat owner more confidence about how things work, this is it. If there was ever a book you'll want to carry with you on board, this is the one to have. Pat Piper Editor - BoatUS Trailering Magazine

....Helps small boat anglers better understand the installation, troubleshooting and repairs of electrical systems such as trolling motors, downriggers, trim tabs, batteries, fishfinders and charts Soundings Magazine

....The Fisherman's Electrical Manual is written for owners of trailerable boats, but anyone considering purchasing devices and installing them on any size craft will find this to be an indispensable reference.....I highly recommend this book, and I would stick it in the same box as the new chart plotting GPS that Santa may be leaving under the tree. On The Water Magazine

The Fisherman's Electrical Manual sorts through an astonishing array of electrical and electronic devices.....In a well organised fashion John Payne addresses such subjects as outboard electrics, trolling motors, downriggers, batteries, boat wiring, sonar and fishfinders, GPS, charts, radar and autopilot.
