Course description
Students will be introduced to outboard engines and will cement their knowledge by performing common maintenance procedures up to the 100-hour service on school-provided Suzuki engines. Students will learn in depth about fuel systems and cooling systems and will get practical experience performing hands-on engine maintenance tasks. Working on functioning engines, students will learn how to diagnose and troubleshoot common problems associated with outboard engines. Students will also learn how to properly respond to a submerged outboard.
The school will provide the outboard engines and components for demonstrations and hands-on practice. Some engines will be used for tear down and reassembly, and some for troubleshooting and test running. Hand tools such as wrenches, sockets and other necessary diagnostic tools will be provided. Students will also have access to multimeters for electrical troubleshooting.
The Marine Systems Intensives provide both conceptual and hands-on instruction. Students will handle system components, watch demonstrations, learn to describe a system’s components and how they function, and will be able to perform specific tasks using industry best practices
Students learn how to:
- Identify the key components of an outboard engine assembly.
- Describe what causes combustion in an outboard engine system and how to identify key differences between 2- stroke and 4-stroke engine cycles.
- Disassemble and reassemble an outboard engine.
- Recognize failed, damaged, or worn components.
- Identify all the components in an outboard fuel system and what each function serves.
- Identify all the components in an outboard cooling system and what each function serves.
- Identify problems common to outboard engines.
- Use reference materials to help with diagnosis.
- Diagnose and repair common problems associated with outboard engines.
- Properly perform maintenance procedures up to the 100-hour service on an outboard engine.
- Properly respond to a submerged outboard engine.
