Learn about your marine electrical systems
Nick
battery efficiency with simple, do-it-yourself wiring changes.
* Learn about your batteries. What types are best suited to your
application? Gel-cell verses liquid electrolyte. Also learn about
Ni-cad and alkaline batteries. How to care for each of these.
* Learn about battery charging devices. What is good, bad, and how
are they different? Includes alternators, generators, shore power
chargers, wind power, and solar power.
* Learn about regulators and other charge controllers including
internal/external regulators, multi-state, by-pass, and shunt
types.
* Learn about "electrolysis", its causes and cures.
* Learn how to trouble shoot electrical problems with your multi-meter.
* Learn preventative maintenance for your electrical system.

number of tech questions by suggesting they buy this piece. It is not very
good and not nearly up to the standards of any of the reasonable published
works on the subject.
Let's treat Nick as he deserves and make sure we avoid this particular
product.
I dropped Nick a private note suggesting this was bad form to discover his
address is bad - gee I wonder why?

Two very good books on Marine Electrical Systems are
Marine Electrical and Electronic Bible by John Payne
or and
Marine Electronics Handbook by Colin Jones
They are available from the popular book stores.
You can't go wrong on these two books.

very good, much better than Nigel Calder. Cameron tells it like it is in
simple,
easy to understand language. Here is the link

buck. Cameron is at best pedestrian and is at worst quite wrong. Save your
money and ignore "Nick"

I am sorry you seem to have taken offense in letting others know that some good
information is available free on the web. Perhaps if you read the book you
might
feel otherwise. What is the definition of "Spam" anyway? I do not believe it
includes
anything of what I have done. Maybe you need to back off from your high horse
a bit.

with a free, and not very good, introduction. It is generally accepted that
this is not a place where you sell stuff.
If you or "Cameron" want to contribute to the discussion join right in. If
you want to sell your wares go somewhere else.
You don't need a def of spamming - you are doing it.

It sure smells like spam to me.
Tell me Nick, how many orders have you had so far?
Care to refer any satisfied customers?

....I have known Cameron Clarke for about 6 years now, back when he was
on rec.boats..before the .cruising group was formed. At that time, he offered
essentially the same self-taught course, minus a couple unwritten chapters -for
free. I have them still, and frankly, they are fairly good primers for understanding
marine electrical systems. His section on connections for instance talks about the
importance of every connection being the best, least resistive it can be, how to
achieve this goal, and that the total number of connections in any one network must
be kept to a minimum, or you suffer with reduced voltage at the device in use. He
gives some good hints on measuring the voltage drops on your DC routes etc. Basic,
but still plenty thorough for someone that is new to this.
Now that said..I am surprised that he has decided to charge for this stuff. Nigel
Calder, although not correct as much of the time as he would wish -by his own
admission, is far better at systems analysis and troubleshooting. I don't think that
Cameron even owns Jupiter, his boat that he cruised the Caribbean on for 5
years..which is where he wrote most of this product.
Cameron is a man of many talents, and I suspect this is another business venture
on his part. I wish him well, of course, but I would not recommend this material for
the money he is asking. There are too many better ones out there...Nigels material,
The 12v Doctors bible, etc.
Dats how I see it...
