Engine Maintenance (EM) Summary

Prerequisites:  Engine Maintenance is open to active USPS members that have successfully completed one of the following classes:

This course covers the general construction, operating principals, maintenance and repair of marine gasoline and diesel engines, cooling, electrical, fuel, and lubricating systems and associated propulsion components - clutches, shafting, and propellers. Since one of the major objectives of the course is to help the student to become more self-reliant afloat, trouble diagnosis and temporary remedies are emphasized along with safety measures. The course is not intended to produce trained mechanics but rather more intelligent and more resourceful boat engine operators.
