Carl Schlemmer of Mastry Engine Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, will be joining the team of Nigel Calder and Steve Zimmerman, presenting “Everything You Need To Now About Diesel Engines” at TrawlerFest in Florida. There are three seats left in the seminar.
Schlemmer is bringing with him one of latest of Yanmar’s line of common-rail diesel engines, helping us to balance the program with some new tech.
Mastry Engine Center, a Yanmar subsidiary, specializes in diesel re-powers, powertrain applications, and complete diesel and gas solutions for both marine and industrial customers. The company supports a network of more than 140 authorized dealers throughout the southeastern United States and the Caribbean.
The diesel seminar is capped at 36 attendees and always sells out, as does our Hands-On Boat Handling seminar which caps at 20 and has five seats left.

The TrawlerFest boat show and seminar series happens at the Riviera Beach Municipal Marina Tuesday through Sunday, Jan. 26-31. The boat show runs Thursday through Sunday, Jan. 28-31, and includes booths displaying marine products and services. For information about TrawlerFest-Riviera Beach, call 954.703.4789 or send an email to [email protected].
The best value is to purchase a VIP pass which allows entry into any and all of the seminars (except the diesel and “Hands-On Boat Handling” seminars) for a set price, which also includes admission to the show and evening social events. For example, you could attend three of the four seminars mentioned above (two conflict) as well as have a choice of several others over the six-day event.
