Excerpt from Motor Boats, Hydroplanes, Hydroaeroplanes: Construction and Operation With Practical Notes on Propeller Calculation and Design; An Illustrated Manual of Self Instruction for Owners and Operators of Marine Gasoline Engines and Amateur Boat-Builders Considerable space is devoted to the troubles that are likely to arise in running marine engines, and this will be found one of the most useful features of the book. The causes and symptoms of engine trouble are described at length and, as the proper remedies for all such cases are clearly indicated, this handy volume may often prove as indispensable as the fuel supply. If it thus adds to the pleasure and comfort of the motor boating fraternity it will not have been written in vain.
