About this Event

Marine Diesel 101

Join us for a hands-on learning experience at San Francisco Boatworks. Our expert instructor Sam Middlehurst, SF Boatworks GM and CEO of Sam's Engineering Services is a master mechanic with decades of marine engine experience.

This one day class for boat owners, future boat owners, renters, drivers or anyone else interested in learning more about marine diesel engines. It's an essential class for anyone who owns, plans to own, or otherwise drives a diesel powered boat, especially if you intend to go to sea.

Some of the topics include:

  • How and why a diesel engine works - including cooling systems, electrical/starter, fuel injection, compression, combustion and the four-stroke cycle
  • The purpose and functions of various auxillary systems - Gaseaus, Raw water, Fresh water, Oil etc
  • Recognising the symptoms of diesel engine issues and using them to diagnose the cause of problems
  • Troubleshooting of basic problems and how to make emergency repairs
  • Performing routine engine service and inspections (Oil change, Filters, Impeller, Anodes and much more)

You can expect to leave the class with a solid handle on what makes a diesel engine tick and what you can do if things don't work as expected.

Lunch included - Please let us know in advance if you have any dietery restrictions.

Who is the class for?

This is a perfect course for both novice and seasoned boaters. The class requires no mechanical or engineering experience - If you're reading this and think you should know more about marine diesel engines, this class is for you!
