Notes: This is a brand new ABYC Gasoline Certification Study Guide, Class, and Test. This class will cover In-boards and Out-boards. Don't miss this opportunity to certify in the Northwest!

This four-day program is designed for the experienced marine gasoline technician. It is intended to supplement factory sponsored engine specific courses and certifications with an industry recognized generic certification of knowledge for troubleshooting engine and drive installations. The course will cover the following as it pertains to gasoline engines, both inboard and outboard: cooling systems, electrical systems, fuel systems, ventilation systems, exhaust systems, control systems, ignition systems and drive systems. Additionally, extensive coverage of both ABYC Standards and USCG requirements as they apply to gasoline fueled engines of all types will be provided. At registration, each student is sent a course study guide, which should be previewed in conjunction with the ABYC standards.

The class concludes with a 200 question certification exam.

Please be sure to bring your copy of the ABYC Gasoline Engines and Support Systems Certification Study Guide with you or call our office to make sure you have a copy prior to class.
