About The Book

   Written in easy to understand language with a minimum of

technical terms it is not intended to be a textbook on Marine

Air-Conditioning but a helpful reference for the owner or captain

when things go wrong.

   It is about sixty pages long as of now with no complicated

graphs or formulas, just easy to follow tips on getting things

working again. Anyone with a screwdriver and voltmeter can

follow it and if you do get into trouble you can always email

me for support.

   It was published by me on my computer in response to the

calls I still get from old customers who want a second opinion

when faced with high estimates from other companies.

Over twenty something years in the business I was privileged

to be trusted with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of boats

by owners and builders alike and made a lot of friends along the

way.

   It would be a waste if this hard earned knowledge wasn't made available to those who need it so here it is. It is a work in

progress as I can't remember everything and gives you, the

reader, the opportunity to contribute your own story of "The 

Service Man From Hell"

   If you have a tale of mis-diagnosis I'd like to hear it and maybe

add it to the book or the site, after all, that's what friends are for.
