Marine Diesel Engines – Learn How To Service And Maintain Your Diesel Marine Engine
Whether you are a weekend boater or a long-distance sailor you must be able to maintain your marine diesel engine and make repairs when on the water. Lack of engine knowledge can lead to disaster!
A couple of years ago I met shipwright Laurence Burgin when he was doing some work on my boat. Laurence is a shipwright with 25 years experience on a wide variety of vessels. He also teaches diesel marine engine maintenance for beginners at yacht clubs around

I attended one of Laurence’s marine diesel maintenance courses and the knowledge I gained has enabled me to do much of the regular engine maintenance on my boat myself. I still get the service guy from Yanmar to do some of the more complex maintenance but with what I can now do myself I’ve saved thousands of dollars. More importantly, I have confidence that I can handle an engine emergency out on the water!
Laurence has now decided to make his course manual available to the wider boating community in the form of a downloadable e-book.
