Mack Boring Yanmar Diesel Training Class

[gmberkley]

I was wondering if anyone had every taken this class. I am new to the diesel engine and want to learn as much as I can about it, not sure if they even offer training any longer, I did send an email inquiring about classes, if these aren't available, or not worth the time and money, are there any other avenues anyone would suggest.

thanks Gregg

I have taken that class and highly recommend it. You will have hands on training with the model engine you own. They will show you how to get out of trouble and things you shouldnt get into. Go for it.

I would be interested in doing this too. Please let me know what you find out. Always down to learn more info about my boat and motor.
