RYA Diesel Engine
RYA Diesel Engine Course
The RYA Marine Diesel Engine course is an introductory course aimed at preventing breakdowns and solving basic problems at sea. Suitable for leisure boaters and those working on the water. Also a great confidence builder ahead of Yachtmaster exams. It is a one day course based in our training room in Poole. We have both training engines and parts to examine and work on.
Usually taught by our Chief Instructor, Dom, he is keen to make this course practical and relevant. No experience necessary. We will look at how to use tools & options to include in your tool kit on board. During the course we will consider what spares to carry on board. We will also look at how the engine works, its components, routine maintenance and trouble shooting.
We have a training engine (Beta 10) to take apart and reassemble but also plenty of parts from other engines to examine too. There is no final assessment, we just want people to contribute and participate in the day and to leave feeling confident and inspired to get more involved with the engines on their own boats.
Our classroom is based at Parkstone Bay Marina overlooking Poole Harbour. During the day we will supply coffee and biscuits.
