Taking time to understand how your boat's core systems interact can make the difference between a smooth day on the water and a frustrating breakdown at the dock. This course breaks down the fundamentals of small-boat mechanics and electrics, translating complex setups into clear, manageable logic you can actually use. We’ll dive into DC electrical networks and solar setups so you can manage your house batteries and keep power flowing reliably off-grid. You’ll also learn the basics of outboard and inboard propulsion, including how to spot mechanical warning signs before they turn into major repairs. We'll demystify plumbing and bilge systems, walking through proper pump selection, float switch wiring, and underwater fitting safety. Beyond individual components, we’ll focus on simple troubleshooting logic to help you isolate problems step-by-step when something goes wrong away from shore. Whether you’re rigging a simple skiff or upgrading a cruising boat, you’ll walk away with the practical knowledge and self-reliance every skipper needs. Space is limited, so secure your spot today to build true confidence in your vessel’s vital systems!
