Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this class good for powerboats and sailboats?
Absolutely, diesel engines are very similar between sailboats and powerboats so the class covers all topics for both.
Does it cover maintenance and troubleshooting issues?
Yes. The class goal is to allow you to perform basic maintenance and troubleshooting. The instructor will ask you questions and you will have to find a solution by dismantling a part of the engine.
Will I learn how to winterize the diesel engine?
the instructor will review the best practice for your winterization. Once you understand how the engine works, the winterization will become obvious. You will also be able to ask questions to the instructor and to your fellow students who can share their experiences.
