Outboard Motor Maintenance training - How you will learn to service your engine

 

How you will learn

Practical Training

You receive instruction in a workshop. You’ll get some time to discuss workshop safety and internal combustion, but the practical demonstrations start on the first morning, and you'll be hands-on by the first afternoon. The groups are kept small to allow sufficient practice time 

Presentations

You will see Planning the Boat Trip and Checking Boat Machinery. These lessons cross over with our Vessel Operations Level 2 programme, you are welcome to view the other videos in the LMS. Your personal tutor will provide you with a link to the SSNT OMM LMS at ssnauticaltraining.myicourse.com

Pdfs

Students are provided with SSNT’s OMM HSE Guidelines.which contains job hazard analyses for workshop activities, and the SCV Code’s requirements for outboard motors and open boat: electrical, bilge, fuel and exhaust systems.
