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 course is eight weeks. |
