For those who like to know how things
work, many units provide mechanical engineering training,
starting with basic mechanics and advancing to maintenance
of diesel and petrol engines, using the engines in the power
boats the Cadets themselves use. Electrical training can
also be provided and covers everything from theory to
maintenance.
Topics covered include:
• Diesel engine principles
• Systems of a typical small marine diesel engine
• Basic electrical circuits in small craft
• Use of basic tools and instruments
• Soldering
• Preventive maintenance and detailed fault finding
• Outboard engines
• Laying-up procedures
• Instrumentation
• Basic electronics
