Learn how boat electrical systems work, how to diagnose problems, and how to do simple repairs and upgrades.  Boat electrical systems are increasingly under load with power demands for electronic navigation, radar, powered windlasses and winches, interior and exterior lighting, personal electronic devices, and more. 

Most boats have both DC and AC power.  Learn about voltage drops, current demands, wiring, and so on. This course covers the topics you need and want to know.

What’s included?

How to use a multi-meter.  How to solder and crimp
How to read electrical wiring diagrams

If no CanBoat learning centre in Canada is currently offering the Marine Elctrical Maintenance course, either in classoom or virtual mode, you can buy the manual and do your own self study.  If you would like to write the final exam and get your sticker for your CanBoat Passport, contact the CanBoat Calgary Education Officer.
