MARINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BASICS
This 12-hour class is designed for both recreational boaters and
professional mariners looking for a better understanding of marine
electrical systems as well as practical skills such as troubleshooting
and installing simple circuitry. The electrical systems class covers
basic electrical theory, system design, maintenance, and basic
troubleshooting and repair skills. Students receive both lecture and
hands-on instruction utilizing multimeters and electrical circuitry
developed for the course.
Upon completion of this course, students are able to understand
basic electrical theory, DC system design, troubleshoot simple electrical
failures, and create basic circuitry for DC installations. Although
the course is not designed to turn boat owners into marine electricians,
graduates have the confidence to know when an electrician is needed
and are better equipped to communicate with industry professionals.
Please bring a multimeter to class if you own one, otherwise
we will provide one for in-class use.
Topics:
- Basic Electrical Theory
- Batteries, Banks & Circuitry
- Multimeters & Ammeters
- Battery Equalization
- Load Testing
- Hydrometer & Specific Gravity
- Wire Ampacity & Circuit Protection
- Crimping, Distribution Panels & Switches
- System Design
- Basic Troubleshooting
- Galvanic Corrosion & Bonding

MARINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: LEVEL II
Offered only a few times each year, this 2-day class is designed for graduates of the
Marine Electrical System Basics class who are looking for further hands-on training in
troubleshooting electrical failures and designing and installing new equipment and
circuitry. Students receive hands-on training while working in small groups to
troubleshoot and resolve faults in circuitry developed specifically for the course.
They also design and create circuitry for new equipment installation, perform a load
analysis and design a balanced system.
Topics:
Day 1: Troubleshooting
- Review Multimeters and Ammeters
- Circuit Overload
- Open Circuit
- Short Circuit
- Resistance
- Voltage Drop
- Component Failure
|
Day 2: Circuit Design and Installation
- Wire Ampacity
- Circuit Protection
- Voltage Drop
- Component Tolerances
- Crimping
- Heat Shrinking
- System Design Compatability
