The Engine Maintenance Course stresses the diagnosis of modern systems, while also teaching the basics of engine layout and operation. This course is taught in the classroom with two sessions in an on-board. hands-on environment with two sessions. Gasoline inboards, outboards, and diesel engines are taught in a way that reinforces the common aspects of how engines work. This new course is complete in one book with one exam. Modern engines offer high reliability and good performance through the use of computerized systems for fuel delivery and engine timing. Most of these systems are black boxes that can no longer be serviced by weekend mechanics with ordinary tools. The EM course covers those repairs that do-it-yourselfers can still perform, teaches how to diagnose problems that might be beyond your ability to fix, and how to share information with your mechanic so the right repairs get performed. Our Squadron places emphasis on fuel storage and cleanliness issues for both diesel and ethanol-blended gasoline. The new Engine Maintenance 2007 also covers basic mechanical systems such as drive systems (propellers), steering systems, and engine controls.
There is a $150 fee which includes course materials. USPS Squadron Member's price is $100 after the $50 member discount.
