Diesel 1: Marine Diesel Maintenance 101 - Part A

Marine Diesel Maintenace 101 is a two-part $30.00 webinar. To see both parts you must register for both Part A and Part B.
Jim Zima, owner of Great Lakes Diesel in Vermilion, Ohio, believes that by instructing boat owners in basic maintenance, they learn to do daily engine checks and become confident in their ability to perform their own preventative maintenance services. Knowledge in these areas will keep your boat in good running order and will likely avoid costly repairs.

Join us in this webinar as Jim Zima discusses fuel systems, fuel filters and bleeding techniques, engine and transmission oil and filter maintenance, air filter maintenance, electrical and cooling system maintenance, impeller replacement and more. Listen as Jim provides pointers on service intervals and tips to help simplify your own maintenance efforts.  On top of all that Jim will help you to understand some of the more complex engine systems, like shaft alignment and valve adjustment, and when it is time to bring in a trained technician to assist.

The Marine Diesel Maintenace webinar is presented in two-parts, first on March 18th and then on 19th. The cost of the webinar is $30.00. To receive the full webinar presentation you must register for both Part A and for Part B.  The cost for each of those parts is $15.00. If you are registering for the webinar's recording you will also have to register for the Part A and Part B recordings.
