Knowledge is diesel power - Cruising Dream (TEST)

Now that I know that our new home has a diesel…well, most sailboats also have diesel, except the case of small sailboats with outboard motors, it is high-time that I educate myself about Diesel engines.
First two great high level articles about Diesel marine engines:

Diesel Engines – How do they work?
Diesel Maintenance: Or Lack Thereof

And what else does Steph need? Of course books! And the Bible it seems is by Nigel Calder: Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair

And of course, while I was there, I also thought it would be a good idea to also get his other book that seems complementary to it: Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems

Usually, I really like to have the Kindle books, as I am trying to diminish my physical book library, but in these case, I think the hardcopy is better to have on board while in the engine room, instead of having en epad with me.
