KNOW YOUR SYSTEMS. No one thinks much about their onboard plumbing systems until something goes wrong; maybe the pump is cycling on and off, the water tastes funky, the holding tank overflows, or your bilge fills up with fresh water the day your vacation starts. If you are one of those sailors who has lived in happy ignorance of the intricacies of boat plumbing, you ll certainly get something out of this slim volume. Payne gives us chapter and verse on everything from bilge pumps to holding tanks and watermakers. There s plenty of good advice for the owner who wants a better understanding of these essential but often overlooked systems.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Feels unread. No faults. This book breaks down the technical aspects of onboard water systems into clear, manageable explanations. It covers everything from water tanks and pressure pumps to hot water heaters, desalination units, bilge pumps, alarms, and sewage systems. Payne's approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at boat owners who want to understand how their systems work and how to maintain them without needing a background in engineering. The tone is plain and instructional, with diagrams and examples to help readers visualize components and layouts. It's especially useful for troubleshooting common issues?like a pump that won't stop cycling or a bilge that mysteriously fills with fresh water. The book also explains marine sanitation devices (MSDs), shower and sink drainage, and how to manage gray and black water safely and legally. Artikel-Nr. 049627
