Mack Boring course?

Post by mpel »

Has anyone taken a Mack Boring diesel engine maintenance course and would you recommend it? Also, any recommendations for a good manual describing maintenance procedures (Yanmar specific or not)? Thanks.

I would highly recommend course. The big plus is you get to play on the engine specific to your vessel.
Any question they were more then happy to answer and provide direction :D .

I took the one-day introductory diesel course in Massachusetts a few weeks ago and thought the information valuable and teacher first rate. I have signed up for the two-day, hands-on course to be given in May at Mack Boring's main branch in New Jersey. Expensive, but for someone with no diesel experience and little mechanical ability I think I'll be much, much less anxious about maintaining the Yanmar on my new-to-me Albin.
