Marine Mechanic School

A good marine mechanic school will tech you how to repair, tune and adjust the electrical and mechanical equipment settings of inboard and outboard boat engines.

In addition to working on boat engines, marine mechanic schools will also train you on proper maintenance and repair of propellers, steering systems, and other boat equipment. Marine mechanics will often repair other types of marine equipment such as jet skis and wave runners.

Many smaller boats have portable outboard engines that can be removed and brought to a marina, dealer, or repair shop for necessary maintenance and repairs. Larger craft are often powered by large diesel or gasoline engines which are removed only for major engine overhauls.

Motorboats and personal water craft (PWCs) are used more than ever for pleasure boating, water sports, fishing, and racing. Some people even choose to live on their boat as a permanent residence. Watercraft continues to ride a wave of popularity (sorry for the pun), keeping the demand for trained marine techs high.
