RYA Diesel Engine Course – March 16th
Our next Diesel Engine Course will be held on Friday March 16th.
Course fee £110.00
This one day course is suitable for anyone who wishes to maintain a marine diesel engine and solve diesel engine failure.
Mechanical failure is the main cause of rescue call-outs to cruisers. Basic engine maintenance will help ensure that you are not part of this statistic.
Most engine problems can be avoided by taking simple precautions, and you don’t need a detailed mechanical knowledge. During this course we will teach you how your engine works, how to keep it healthy by using basic checks and maintenance procedures, and how to get it started again in the event of a breakdown. We will look at engine parts in our classroom as well as the real thing on one of our yachts.
Whether you sail a yacht with an auxiliary diesel engine or are a motor cruising enthusiast, this course could not just save you money, but one day could save your life.
Course topics include:
- the principles of diesel engine operation
- the systems and parts of the engine
- fault finding
- rectification of common problems
- bleeding the fuel system
- changing the impeller
- routine maintenance
- winter lay up procedures
