Week of June 16: My new job

This past week I performed an oil change on a 3 cylinder yanmar diesel, installed an electric windlass for an anchor and correctly fixed the house bank battery wiring for a boat. I learned about what makes marine diesels special from other diesel engines. I learned about engine and boat zincs, raw water impellers and how marine engines use raw water to cool the engine. I have been learning a lot about how deep cycle 6v batteries are used in 110v offshore use and how to properly hook them up for use and charging. I have learned a great deal this past week and can't wait for the rest of the summer!
