RYA Diesel Engine

Understand, troubleshoot and maintain the diesel engine that powers your yacht.

The RYA Diesel Engine course covers how a diesel engine works, routine maintenance, simple fault-finding and what to do when things go wrong at sea. It is a practical, hands-on day that takes the mystery out of the engine bay.

By the end of the day you will know how to change filters and impellers, bleed the fuel system, check belts and cooling, and keep the engine reliable throughout a season.
