# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Marine Diesel Engines Weekend for Women
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Instructor: Margaret Pommert
 
Spend a weekend learning about your boat’s diesel engine. A class, by Margaret, designed and taught just for women. Cruisers college will help you understand your diesel engine, the equipment you rely on when out exploring on your boat, and common trouble-shooting techniques for the cruising woman.
 
For both sailors and powerboaters! This class won’t make you a diesel mechanic. But it will give you basic knowledge of, and hands-on experience with, the engine and related systems needed for cruising in locally. This course reviews many of the things you need to know about your diesel engine and the important trouble-shooting techniques for when things don’t go as planned. This class will review marine diesel and drive train systems that are both the most likely to cause problems as well as being the easiest to fix (or prevent failing). You’ll discover there’s a lot you can do for your engine and drive train that doesn’t require lots of strength or using expensive tools. Attendees will receive example checklists and tool lists to tailor for their own vessels.
 
Sample of topics covered:

    Safety around engine systems
    How to avoid causing problems by the way you drive and manage your boat
    How to perform daily engine checks, using a sample checklist
    Tools and supplies for daily engine checks and basic repairs
    Basic electrical troubleshooting using a multi-meter
    Replacing raw water impellers
    Checking and changing fuel filters
    When your engine fails: basic diagnostics
