Last February I attended an ASA-sponsored Basic Marine Diesel class and showed it in May for club members. It is two nights, two hours each. I have had access to the class for one year and those who attended thought it would be good to share it again at the clubhouse. If you’re a novice, you could gain some understanding. If you are knowledgeable in this area, you might pick up a nice refresher and we could use your wisdom for discussion during and after.
Please join us. Bring what you want to drink and, if inspired, a snack to share.
Please email me at pattio1513@att.net prior to the class if you would like the handouts that go along with the class. I won’t be printing them out as they are quite lengthy, so if you would like them, you will need to let me know.
