RYA DIESEL ENGINE COURSE AIMS:

The RNLI tell us that the most common reason for call-outs is machinery failure. Many of these call outs would be avoided if more yachtsmen (sail and power alike) had a better understanding of how the engine works and how to;

• carry out regular checks,
• carry out routine maintenance and
• perform basic, “get you home” maintenance

RYA DIESEL ENGINE COURSE PRE REQUISITES:

None. No previous mechanical ability or knowledge of engines is required. You will be surprised at just how straightforward most of the checks, fault finding and adjustments are.

RYA DIESEL ENGINE COURSE CONTENT:
