Before booking, tell us about your boating experience and the engine you use. For example, let us know whether you want to understand routine checks or prepare for a discussion with a mechanic. Also ask what clothing, materials or tools you should bring. Training helps build understanding, while repairs beyond your ability should be assessed by an appropriate marine professional.
