Waiting List for ABYC Basic Engines

Instructor: Ed Sherman

Based on the ABYC Basic Engines Course, this online program is a generic primer for both gasoline and diesel fueled engines and related systems. The course content is geared toward the less experienced engine technician or marine surveyor, or for anyone interested in learning the essentials surrounding inboard marine engines.

 

Candidates for this course include anyone with some mechanical background that is just entering into the marine field and wants to learn the basics for troubleshooting, maintaining and installing marine engines. Successful attendees will finish this program with a clear understanding of how engines work, what the differences between gas and diesel engines are and how marine engines may differ from their land based counter-parts.

 

Engine fundamentals will be discussed at length, building a foundation for the successful troubleshooter to work from. As part of this course, we’ll look at fuel systems, both gas and diesel, ignition systems on gasoline fueled engines, and basic ABYC exhaust system requirements. In addition, engine cooling systems, both fresh and raw water will be explained in detail.

 

Again, for both gas and diesel, extensive troubleshooting methods and procedures will be discussed in class, providing the successful attendee with the knowledge necessary to attack an engine’s no run, or poor run conditions with confidence. Finally, We’ll take a look at basic marine drive systems as part of this course with an emphasis on material required to prepare for either the ABYC Gas or Diesel Engine Certification exams.

 

This course is an excellent pre-requisite for mastering the experiential elements for either of the ABYC Engine Certifications. Please note that the content for this course is primarily based on accepted industry best practices, however some ABYC Standards-based material will be presented.

 

Note: REGISTRATION FEES FOR THIS COURSE ARE YET TO BE DETERMINED. WHILE IT IS FREE FOR YOU TO PRE-REGISTER, THE ACTUAL COURSE WILL NOT BE FREE!
