Marine Propulsion Systems

About

The Marine Propulsion Systems curriculum is designed to provide training for mechanics through classroom instruction, laboratory experiments, and shop practices in the repair and maintenance of outboard motors, inboard engines, stern drives, and jet propulsion systems. The course work includes the areas of outboards (introduction, midsection, and rigging), inboards (introduction, engine rebuilds, lower unit systems, transom assembly, and rigging), jet propulsion systems, and high-performance custom systems. Graduates of the curriculum should qualify for employment opportunities as motorboat mechanics, motorboat mechanic helpers, motor board mechanics (inboard/outboard), and jet ski mechanics. Other employment can be found at marine boat sales and service firms, or they may establish their own service facility.
