This week, the gurus at BoatHowTo.com announced that their new course called Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance was live on their website and ready for attendees. The 11-hour series of seminars is given by Nigel Calder and Dr. Jen Athenstadt, the founders of the instructional website  and developers of the courses.

The diesel maintenance course is the second in-depth course offered by the website. It follows the two courses on marine electrics, Boat Electrics 101 and Advanced Marine Electrics, which have been attended by more than two thousand boat owners and industry professionals.

Nigel Calder will be well known in the U.S. as a frequent author of technical articles in the boating press and as a respected and informative lecturer at boat shows and other marine venues.

Jen Athenstadt has a Phd in computer science and has spent many months sailing and working on tall ships, including a voyage to Antarctica. He has more than 10,000 sea miles.

The courses the team has put together ensure that students are fully aware of and able to comply with both ABYC and ISO standards. Also, professionals may be able to qualify for continuing education credits.

The Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance Course is comprised of 63 lectures that will take attendees through all of the basics of how marine diesel engines work and then provides a thorough explanation and demonstration of how to undertake routine maintenance. Plus, the course offers bonus sections on tools, spare parts and engine alignments and much more.

The course is designed for boat owners and those who may be getting ready to venture to remote parts of the world where mechanical assistance may be hard to find. But, it also will be of use for professional mechanics who want to brush up on the latest techniques and technologies.

The courses are subscription based. The Diesel course is priced at $299 but if you subscribe before December 8, 2024, BoatHowTo is offering a $50 discount.
