Traveling the Inside Passage into British Columbia
and Alaska can take you to some of the most beautiful
and remote boating destinations in the world. This
also means that you must be more self-reliant and able
to troubleshoot and make minor repairs yourself.
Mike Beemer, “Mr. Marine Fix-it” will
present a one-day course on how to diagnose and solve
common problems encountered while cruising covering
a boat’s engine, transmission, electrical, water
and sanitation systems. The course will start with
what a well-maintained boat looks like and things to
do before you set out to distant anchorages.
We will have several demonstration engines to provide
hands on troubleshooting of common electrical, fuel,
and overheating issues. Mini-labs that will show how
to use a multi-meter for electrical, infrared temperature
gun for cooling systems, and your eyes/ears for effective
troubleshooting aboard your vessel. The course includes
many tips and practical information that have proved
successful from many years of cruising.
Regardless of the age of your
boat, there are many tips and techniques that will
be discussed in the class on how to make permanent
or temporary repairs to “keep
it alive” and make the passage as enjoyable as
possible.
Course includes a booklet to take home and reference.
Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
