Seminar - Marine Engines For the Recreational Boater - Classroom

Whether they are the main power or the auxiliary power source for our boats, marine engines operate in a very difficult environment, often with little thought given to their love and care. The intent of this seminar is to give us an appreciation for our engines; it is not a maintenance guide, but it discusses, in very simple terms, how marine engines of different types operate. It even covers a brief history on how the different types developed; right from the small steam engines found in some launches, to gasoline and diesel engines, including outboards, and the electric motor that is gaining popularity.
