On board many yachts, the diesel engine often leads a kind of shadowy existence - even though it is usually the most expensive single piece of equipment. The engine is often installed in a location that is not easily accessible and many owners leave maintenance to a specialist company. As a result, the expensive, complicated and sometimes oily unit is not looked at closely.

This is where the practical seminar with mechanical engineer Dr. Robert Möckel comes in. It consistently takes the perspective of the user, i.e. the yacht user. The structure and operation of the engine are only explained to the extent necessary for practical use of the engine.

The user course will take place in a seminar room as part of the Hamburg Yacht Festival 2024 in Wedel. Two boat engines are available for the practical demonstration of maintenance work - Volvo Penta and Yanmar

We look forward to seeing you!
