For both new and experienced boaters, Power Boating For Dummies is a useful reference that covers the ins and outs of this exciting and popular sport.

Designed to teach you how to pilot a boat, equip it, store it, tow it, handle emergencies, and more, -- it's a comprehensive guide written in jargon-free language .

  • Know which mechanical checks to perform when you're looking at a pre-owned boat
  • Learn the rules of boater safety

  • Outfit your power boat with the right gear, equipment, and supplies -- for fun and safety
  • Operate your power boat, from launching and loading to driving, anchoring, and docking
  • Navigate with charts, GPS, and radar
  • Handle the weather and other boat emergencies
  • Check (and change) fluids, charge your boat's battery, and perform other routine maintenance tasks
  • Check and repair belts and propellers and fix leaks and other minor problems
  • Prepare your power boat for all seasons
  • Keep your boat's galley fully stocked

To learn about all of that and so much more, including boating tactics that separate the pros from the amateurs and all-important items you'll never set sail without, grab your copy of Power Boating For Dummies today.
