Keep the water on the other side of the wall! From spark plugs to bottom paint, this course covers all the basics for "do it yourself" boaters.

This course will equip you with the knowledge required to prevent onboard problems, carry out specialized tasks and tackle both short-term troubleshooting as well as long-term boat care.
