The engine sputters to a halt, and you wouldn't know your piston from your elbow. What do you do? Take this essential maintenance course, and pick up the quick-fixes that can get you home in time for tea! If you're planning to buy your own yacht, or simply interested in the workings of the boat you're sailing, you'll find this course invaluable. After an enjoyable day of hands-on experience, and a short test, you'll be awarded an RYA certificate.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Your tutor provides an introduction to the marine diesel engine, enabling you to recognise early warning signs and fix common problems. You'll learn about the principles of diesel engine operation, fuel and cooling systems, electrics, fault finding, routine maintenance and winter lay-up procedures. The RYA diesel engine course book is included in the fee.
