RYA Diesel Engine Course
Learn more about the Engine!

This is a fun, practical course run by experienced yachtsmen and engineers centred on helping you understand the beast in the engine room. You will learn how to be more self-sufficient on board by knowing the principles of diesel engine operation. We will explain the different parts and systems in a marine diesel engine, faultfinding and rectification, as well as routine maintenance and winter lay up. You will be able to deal with common engine failures and this in turn will make you more confident in venturing that little bit further from land.
