Marine Diesel Basics
Marine Diesel Basics
at the Norwalk Boat Show
Thursday, September 22- Friday, September 23, 2011, 9am to 4pm
This 12-hour class is designed to benefit both recreational boaters and
professional mariners who operate vessels equipped with diesel engines. The
course covers all types of diesel engines and is not brand specific. While no
previous experience is necessary, we have had experienced gasoline engine and
automotive mechanics take this class to learn the unique characteristics of
marine diesel engines. Upon completion of this course, students will be able
to understand, troubleshoot, and perform basic preventative maintenance and
repairs to their diesel engine. Throughout this course, students receive
both lecture and hands-on instruction utilizing both a working diesel engine
and a cutaway diesel that offers visual access to its inner workings. The
cutaway engine enables students to easily make the transition from a theoretical
to practical understanding of a diesel engine, while the working engine
allows each student to perform hands-on procedures in the classroom.
Although this course is not designed to turn boat owners into expert
mechanics, graduates gain a working knowledge of marine diesels, and the
confidence to know when an experienced mechanic is needed. They are also
better equipped to communicate with industry professionals.
Topics:
- Principles of Operation
- Anatomy of a Diesel Engine
- Maintaining a Marine Diesel Engine
- Basic Troubleshooting
The course cost is: $395 per person (Includes Tickets to the Show)
