Everything You Need To Know About Diesel Engines- Hands On Seminar

With Mike Beemer & Matt Mardesich
Saturday, May 21 from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. $200
Held at the SVC Marine Technology Center *
*NOT included in VIP PASS*

This an all day course about your diesel propulsion engine. Having your Diesel engine fail while underway can ruin your day. Worse, it could put you and your crew in a dangerous position. In general, marine diesel engines are incredibly reliable. They just to need, air, fuel, and water for cooling. You could add electrical power for starting, and you have covered the range of needs for a diesel engine. Most engine problems are due to fuel issues or keeping the engine cool. Using the Marine Tech Centers diesel engine lab, we will work with live diesel engines running where you can walk around the engine and see the different systems. You can look at the injectors and even learn to bleed the engine before starting.

  • Sample of topics covered:
    • Annual and Regular Maintenance:
    • Changing the oil and oil filters
    • Changing Fuel filters
    • Overheating can kill a diesel engine. Make sure your cooling system is maintained regular to avoid overheating and costly repairs.
    • There is no warning for salt water incursion in your transmission cooling system.
    • Gear coolers should be inspected it annually and replace or cleaned every 5 years
    • Impellers should be inspected annually and replaced every 1-2 years depending on use
  • Replacing hoses and belts every five years
    Learn how to troubleshoot:
  • Electrical systems on your engine for starting or charging.
  • Vacuum gauge installation in your fuel system after the primary fuel filter to tell you if the system has a blockage or if the primary filter is dirty from bad fuel or a problem in the tank.
    This is one of our most popular courses… and will sell out.  After this one day course you will have a good understanding of how your diesel engine works and the basic areas for good maintenance and troubleshooting.

What To Look For Before You Call a Surveyor with Jim Merrick 
11:30 am – 1:30 pm  |  $65

So, you want to buy a boat? We explain what you should look for before making an offer and hiring a marine surveyor. A dream of the perfect cruising boat can be crushed when its surveyed, but some of those deal-killers could have been detected early were it not for the fact that buying a boat is rarely a rational decision; we are often lead by our hearts.  Buyers can slow down and take a look at the boat with the rose-colored glasses off. We will cover how to inspect hoses, valves, wiring mistakes, and signs of structural damage. There will be many photos of examples of what to look for. 

Weather Decision Making on the Inside Passage from Puget Sound to Alaska, and vicinity
With Chris Parker
11:30 am – 1:30 pm  |  $65

You will learn all the basic concepts of weather in the Pacific NW, including: How to read a weather map,

Synoptic features (high and low pressure systems, ridges, troughs, fronts), and Why each is important.

Brief discussion of how wind drives seas, and the importance of arriving at a wind forecast before considering forecast for seas (we will devote two hours to discussing seas / waves and their impact on your vessel in the Weather Seminar Wednesday, May 18, at 9am).

You’ll learn about the 3 types of wind; Understanding seabreeze / landbreeze cycles; Catabatic winds and other Coastal effects; Understanding weather from a perspective of energy transfer; Concept of convergence and divergence, and how these drive your weather; and How to gauge forecast confidence.

Chris will present vital information about Weather Models and their limitations, including: Global versus mesoscale models; Temporal and spatial resolution of models; Model grid boxes; and Why models can not resolve weather phenomena in much of the interior Pacific NW.

May 18th, Wednesday Seminars 

What’s New in Electronics 
With Bob Sweet
9am – 11 am  |  $65

Electronics have become an essential part of boating. We’d literally almost be lost without a chartplotter. The manufacturers try to match each other as new gear comes out. Much of it is very important to have. Some is nice to have, and there are a number of gadgets that might be more for bragging rights. Come find out what’s new and how you might want to install and use it on your boat. We’ll explain what it is, how much it will likely set you back, and how you might use it to stay safe or further you onboard experience. We’ll also explore what is coming as some things might be better to wait for.

Waves / Sea, and How they Impact Your Vessel
With Chris Parker
9am – 11am  |  $65

Everything you really need to know about seas, and how to interpret seastate forecasts. Topics include: Define wave height and interval (period); Explore the concept of “apparent wave interval”; Why waves develop; Discuss the importance of an accurate wind forecast; How waves dissipate energy; How fast waves propagate.

We will also explore: Multiple wave trains and their interaction (phasing of wave trains); How waves impact your vessel, and why different types of vessels respond differently to waves.

You will also learn: How waves are influenced by currents, landmasses, shoaling and fetch, including handy, free online tool which will help you understand and calculate how waves respond to changes in wind speed, weather depth, and fetch.

Chris will share his unique rule of thumb so you can create your own accurate forecast for wind-chop (wind driven waves). And he will finish by looking at a few examples of wave forecasts, and offer tips on how to interpret them so you make better decisions with respect to seas.

Safe Radar Navigation in Bad Weather with Furuno Electronics
With Eric Kunz from Furuno
11:30am-1:30 pm  |  $75 NOT INCLUDED IN VIP PASS

This seminar is designed to show you how to become proficient at electronic navigation–six working MFDs, 12 students with two per screen. Our instructor has spent an entire career developing marine electronics for Furuno. This seminar is Furuno based but not all about one brand; it is also about what all brands share in common, which is a lot. It’s an open secret that when one manufacturer introduces an innovative feature, that idea finds its way into the competition’s products pretty quickly, however different the interpretation may be.

The Virtues of Simplicity in a Cruising Boat
With Capt. John Clayman
11:30 am – 1:30 pm  |  $65

Everyone touts the virtues of simplicity, but nowadays this idea is rarely achieved. A veteran cruiser under both sail and power with countless sea miles, John Clayman brings decades of experience in the design, construction, and marketing of cruising boats to Seaton Yachts. As president at Seaton, Clayman wrestles with the conundrum of complexity versus simplicity on a regular basis. This talk follows the debate down through the decades from Beebe’s design of the original PassageMaker to the trawlers of today. If you are considering buying a new boat or refitting your old one, this is the seminar to develop a healthy mindset and maybe even save a few bucks.

Managing Power
With Mike Beemer
3pm – 5pm  |  $65

There are many new choices for generating and managing power on your boat – solar cells, fuel cells, high-output alternators and of course – a genset. Did you know a genset on your boat is the most expensive power you can buy?

Our needs for power on our boats have became higher. Computers, tablets and iPhone chargers, microwave ovens, music systems and even the Instant Pot may be expected to run off a modern boat’s electrical system and many vessels don’t have a “balanced electrical system” that performs properly, has reliability, and is designed to last. This course is designed to help you understand how to design, check, maintain, and upgrade your electrical system to match the power requirements on your boat.
First, we will take a look at the typical power demands a modern electrical system supports.

Do you know how much your microwave draws from your inverter and storage system? We will total up the electrical draw different systems require. Next, we will cover the size of your power storage system, and how to monitor and keep it charged. We then will wrap up the seminar by providing other ways to produce energy and their cost: high-output alternators & battery chargers, solar options & controllers, new fuel cells, and even wind energy. After taking this course, you will become the ‘master’ of the energy equation onboard your cruising vessel.

Advanced Anchoring
With Bob Sweet
3pm – 5pm  |  $65

Anchoring may be considered more of an art than a science. You may never fully understand anchoring, just get better at it. At the heart of anchoring is the anchor itself. Some work well in certain sea beds only to fail in others. We’ll explore which anchors you should carry and how to deploy them based on your type of boating. The anchor is just part of a system where the weakest link is what does you in. We’ll talk about that. And, we’ll talk about techniques, choosing your place for anchoring, and setting the anchor. Then, we’ll talk about getting your anchor back as they do cost a lot.

There are times that challenge your anchoring and conditions that favor deploying two anchors. We’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages of several approaches to multiple anchors. Storm conditions challenge the anchors, boat and crew so we’ll talk about controlling the anchor and dealing with shocks caused by waves.


May 19th, Thursday Seminars 

Basic Boat Handling
With Bob Sweet
8:30 am – 10:30 am  |  $65

Ever wonder how many people out there on the water have had any formal boat handling training? Actually, very few. Most boaters have learned to handle their boats by trial and error until they find something that works for them. This seminar addresses the boat, how it behaves, and how it responds to what you do. Understanding the boat enables you to better control it and get it to do what you want it to do. Whether you are relatively new to boating or an old hand, you will benefit from learning more about your boat’s way of thinking. We’ll talk about close quarters maneuvering which is one of the primary stressors for most boaters. That includes departing, docking, and turning and coming close to other boats and fixed objects. We’ll also talk a bit about operating in open water.

The seminar is presented by the person who wrote the book on boat handling, Powerboat Handling Illustrated, which is used by many organizations in their boat handing courses.

Trawler Buying Tips
With a Team of Experts
11 am – 2 pm  |  $75

Even when it goes well, buying a boat can be a stressful process. The idea behind this three-hour seminar is to arm buyers with the information they need to minimize frustration and unnecessary expense. Five “team teach” instructors look at the challenges of boat buying from unique perspectives. This seminar has saved untold thousands of dollars for participants who avoided making costly mistakes over the past five years.

The theme of the first buying tip is “physics & psychology,” leading off with the first decision a prospective buyer of a cruising boat must make, with Jeff Merrill, CYBA renown Trawler Specialist. Then we explore what kind of cruiser you plan to be and therefore what kind of hull design. Enter veteran boatbuilders Sam Devlin of Devlin Boat Design to explain boat construction and how to discern between different materials.  

Jim Merrick, Surveyor with Merrick Marine discusses how to choose the right surveyor.

Max Salvatter from Sterling Associates and John Pose from Total Dollar will provide professional advise on finances and marine insurance and the elements of a good cruising policy.

Women’s RoundTable: A Judgement-Free Q&A
With Capt Pat Rains
11 am- 1 pm  |  $30

Kim Russo, Joan Kessler and Pat Rains all have cruised widely but with distinctly different experiences. Discussion leader Pat Rains, a captain, is a leading expert on cruising in Mexico. This seminar is for women who think they may want to go cruising or who have only recently entered into the cruising lifestyle and have a wide range of questions best answered by other women, and, alas, without any men in the room.

What’s Up With Radar and AIS
With Bob Sweet
11 am – 1 pm  |  $65

AIS is relatively new and radar has come a long way. We’ll talk about both. They truly complement each other and work well together.

The digital world has totally changed radar. All new radar scanners are a magnitude better than their old CRT cousins. The digital processors enhance the resolution of targets and vesting reduce unwanted clutter.

A game changer is solid-state radar. Instead of using a vacuum tube to emit high-power short-pulses, these radars use long, complex pulses or continuous transmission at low power to place the same energy on the target.

The stability afforded by the solid state, and very sophisticated processing allows these new radar scanners to determine who is getting closer and highlight just those, called Doppler processing.

If you are adding radar or planning to upgrade, you’ll benefit from know what to look for. If you have one, understanding how they “think” will help you interpret what they are telling you. Conventional digital pulse radar scanners are still a valid solution, especially for really distant targets. We’ll explore what to look for and how to use them.

AIS is rapidly becoming an essential tool to have on your boat. You should have at least an AIS receiver, if not a transponder. The transponder tells others of your presence, but there are some issues. New Class B transponders are much better and you might want to consider an upgrade. We’ll explain why.

Using Radar and AIS together, and with your Chartplotter, is an ultimate safety tool and we’ll explain how best to use them.

The Great Loop: How To Prepare, What To Expect
With Kim Russo
2 pm – 5 pm  |  $65

Counterintuitively, attendees at our Pacific Northwest events have shown a strong sense of bi-coastal curiosity. They talk a lot about wanting to do the “Great Loop.” Well folks, here’s your chance to find out more about it. As you know, boaters who circumnavigate the East Coast of U.S., using the Hudson River, Erie Canal, Great Lakes, Mississippi River and Intracoastal Waterway are called “Loopers” for having completed “The Great Loop.” Kim Russo, executive director of the America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association, will give a detailed briefing with plenty of time to answer questions. She will also address which boats are most suitable and how to budget.


May 20th, Friday Seminars 

Advanced Boat Handling
With Bob Sweet
9am – 11am  |  $65

Okay, you know the basics but boating involves lots of variables. Varying wind, current, and sea conditions mean you must adapt on the fly. There are an infinite number of combinations, so you need to know the principles, not just some canned solutions.
Docking is then more of a challenge and the proper use of engines and lines makes all the difference. As a cruising boater, you will experience all sorts of harbors and docking configurations and must be able to master the situation in front of you. Many boaters have twin engines. Handling in close quarters is different from those with a single engine. Instead of the wheel, you will make extensive use of the engines to steer the boat. Extensive use of lines makes the difference in many situations. And, who should be handling the lines and who should be at the helm? This is a team effort.

Operating in open water is driven by sea conditions and you need to know what to do and when to be comfortable and safe in your journey. As the seas build, you need to know which way to go and how to maintain control of your boat.

We’ll explore all of these topics together and provide you with the boat’s perspective to help you deal with challenges that might arise.

The seminar is presented by the person who wrote the book on boat handling, Powerboat Handling Illustrated, which is used by many organizations in their boat handing courses.

Going Offshore
With Jeff Merrill, CPYB
9am – 11am  |  $65

Unless you are going to stay tied up at your home marina, you will eventually want to cruise aboard your trawler offshore. There are a lot of details to consider in your preparation and this course will help you learn what to expect, and/or remind you what it is like. Jeff Merrill is in his twentieth year as a TrawlerFest presenter and as a veteran trawler yacht broker, he has enjoyed spending time with many of his customers after the purchase and, as a result, has amassed an informative and entertaining collection of photos, ideas, lessons and stories to share involving going offshore. Merrill will touch on safety, planning, weather, navigation, pilothouse operations, engine room checks and more.

Space and the future of Satellite Communications – How to stay connected when cruising
11:30am – 1:30 pm  |  $65

May 21, Saturday Seminars 

GREAT LOOPERS THAT CAN DO BLUEWATER TOO- At the Anacortes Yacht Club
9am – 11am |  $65

With Capt. John Clayman

Would-be cruisers often ask, “What do I need to look for in a boat for The Great Loop,” as if maybe they didn’t intend to cruise anywhere else. And maybe some do not. The Great Loop is a magnificent adventure, usually with land to starboard and port, but there are plenty of boats that do a great job on inland waters that can also go offshore and even cross an ocean. There are affordable boats that can do both the Erie Canal and the Atlantic Ocean in comfort and safety. John Clayman, president of Seaton Yachts with tens of thousands of ocean miles under his belt, will review the particular requirements for Great Looping and for more strenuous cruising. He will provide examples of dual-purpose vessels for every budget. Donning his yacht broker cap, Clayman will also discuss how to find and purchase the best boat for your needs. There will be ample time to respond to questions about design, construction, surveys and the purchase process.FREE SATURDAY SEMINARS AT THE BOAT SHOW
