MARINE DIESEL BASICS
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.

- Principles of Operation
- Anatomy of a Diesel Engine
