Yanmar Training?

[Xavierp]

It seems MackBoring is not hosting the 2- day hands-on seminars they used to offer.
Any other options you guys have chosen?

I really want this type of class where you take apart and put back the engine, and so the basic maintenance tasks
I don’t want to sit in a classroom and learn about diesel engines in general like in Annapolis academy.
(I know some will say i should and I agree but I don’t have the time or money)

Thx!

They’re not marine specific it seems. The description of the course doesn’t look like it used too.
Seems to be catered to actual mechanics

Thx for looking that up though

Disagree..I’ve taken their course they are Yanmar engine specific towards the boat owner as described below..


In the 2-day Hands-On Class from Mack Boring & Parts Co. students will learn how to perform routine maintenance as well as how to break down an engine to perform emergency repairs. The class is over 60% hands-on, working on Yanmar engines. The class takes a practical approach, with an emphasis on how to deal with the unexpected. Students learn by doing. By the end of Day 2, they will have bled the fuel system, changed the impeller, checked the injector system, torqued the head bolts and more.

The course describes essential repair parts to keep on board, how to use them and where to purchase them. Nearly every maintenance and repair procedure will be addressed with tips and shortcuts to make engine work easier and keep your boat operating cleaner. Take home reference manuals include charts, diagrams and step by step repair instructions
