This course aims to give an awareness of the main systems of a marine diesel engine so that boat owners and charterers can take simple measures to prevent mechanical failures at sea, and rectify defects which do not require work shop support.

The second day provides extensive practical hands-on experience with lots of fault finding; and there is plenty of opportunity for interaction with the qualified instructors and other course members.
