Form Updated April 9 2011
The new Engine Maintenance course 2007 has been put into one ten chapter course that stresses the diagnosis of modern systems, while also teaching the basics of engine layout and operation. Gasoline inboards, outboards, and diesel engines are taught in a way that reinforces the common aspects of how engines work. This new course is complete in one book with one exam. Modern engines offer high
reliability and good performance through the use of
computerized systems for fuel delivery and engine
timing. Most of these systems are “black boxes” that
can no longer be serviced by weekend mechanics with
ordinary tools. The EM course covers those repairs
that do-it-yourselfers can still perform, teaches
how to diagnose problems that might be beyond your
ability to fix, and how to share information with
your mechanic so the right repairs get performed.
The new Engine Maintenance 2007 also covers basic
mechanical systems such as drive systems
(propellers), steering systems, and engine
controls. The last chapter discusses solutions you
might use to problems that could occur while afloat
and away from a repair facility. Gasoline, diesel,
and outboard engines are treated independently in
this chapter. This class is held Tuesday Evenings at the Portsmouth High School in room XXX on the second floor. For a map of the area and directions, click HERE.
