By contrast, I'll put in a plug for the Mass Maritime Academy's
"Fisheries Program," which taught a basic diesel maintenance course
and a "diesel teardown" course that were superb. The second one
involved taking apart an engine just like the one on my boat. The
teardown took all morning. In the afternoon, we put it back together
and fired it up. Very rewarding. And I think the price was $40. You
won't find a better deal anywhere.

OK. I just went to the webpage:

and found that it's now $125. Still well-worth the price for those of you
in New England.

At

you can find a complete list of their courses.
