RYA Diesel Engine Maintenance

This course has been developed by the RYA in response to demand to take the mystery out of the marine diesel engine and to improve reliability by carrying out timely maintenance.

The RYA course is meant for offshore as well as inland users but we can tailor the course specifically to the requirements of the delegates and is suitable for owners of any vessel with an inboard diesel engine. We try where possible to link the training to the delegate's specific engine type so one of the requirements is for you to bring your own engine manual with you.

The course is delivered in our comfortable training centre using modern training techniques and equipment. It is a "hands on" course and we have lots of equipment to become familiar with. You will also experience actual adjustment and replacement of various components.

There is no requirement for any prior knowledge of engines. By the end of the day you will know all about the major engine components, how they work and how to keep them in good condition to ensure trouble free operation.

Just one oil change carried out by yourself could save you the cost of the training. Even if you never lift a spanner you will know what to ask your engineer and what is involved in routine maintenance.
