ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Maintenance will enable the student to trouble-shoot most common engine problems and jury-rig many repairs. The course covers outboard motors, inboard gas and diesel engines, power trains, and related mechanical systems. This new course is modular and consists of two course units. Both of these courses are intended to help the recreational boater. Both discuss inboards, stern drives, and outboard engines. These new courses are well worth taking even if a member has taken Engine Maintenance before since they introduce new material and provide greater information on all subjects.
Completion of both of these modules is required for credit for Engine Maintenance.
EM 101, Basic Engine Maintenance, provides information about marine propulsion systems, basic engine principles, engine components; controls, instruments and alarms, marine engine maintenance, and steering systems. There is a chapter on winter storage and spring servicing that includes a 25-step winterizing checklist.
EM 102, Advanced Engine Maintenance, delves into cooling and exhaust systems, lubrication, fuel and air induction systems, ignition systems, electrical and starting systems, power trains, and trouble-shooting. It concludes with a chapter on emergency repairs afloat.
