If you own a boat with a diesel engine on it, you know
the meaning of reliability and simplicity. But like any piece of
equipment, a diesel does require some care and maintenance. What is the
best way to learn how do your own maintenance? I found that taking a
hands-on course was an excellent vehicle for learning. Mack-Boring put on
the three day course I attended, with a class size limited to ten amateur
mechanics, including yours truly. The instructor, Larry Berlin was
excellent and I would recommend his course to anyone who wants to get started in
handling their own routine maintenance. Here are a few pictures. We
worked on Yanmar marine diesels. The engine my partner and I worked on was
the same model as the one in my sailboat. Can't do much better than that!
Below you will find a few pic's that I took over the three days of learning.
Just put your cursor over a thumbnail picture and click to enlarge it.
Once done viewing, hit the return, or back button at the top right on your tool
bar. That will bring you back to this page. Enjoy!
