About The National Marine Service Expo

Under the management of MCTINA, NMSE is being held for the 26th year. NMSE

has been dedicated to marine service and has been held annually in Florida

since 1992. This year MCTINA is moving to the Midwest to expand its training.

MCTINA intends to rotate NMSE to different regions of the country annually. This

change will bring NMSE training to each region every 3rd or 4th year. As the only

service-oriented training event in the marine industry that trains technicians

already employed, it provides valuable update technical training for service

professionals who are interested in advancing their careers. NMSE technical

training workshops are ideal for workers who require training on specific systems,

or technicians needing to stay abreast of advancing technology who cannot take

time off to attend school full time. All attendees receive a certificate of completion

and course credits that will be applied toward the NEW AMTECH (Alumni of

MCTINA Technicians) Specialist Program in their chosen area of Outboard or

Inboard - I/O.

INBOARD TRAINING (IO Series)

IO-201 Advanced Inboard Electronic Fuel Injection Technology This course is for the advanced technician who has had training in EFI or for the person who wants to refresh his/her skills. The course will briefly cover Mercury Marine’s EFI history with in-depth coverage of the components and their potential failures. It will cover the fuel system, ignition system, and the tools needed to check for proper operation. The MEFI (marine electronic fuel injection) and Motorola 555 systems will be covered. Also in the course, students will learn general maintenance and storage procedures. Students will work on running engines. You will complete troubleshooting tasks using the proper testing equipment. Students will learn the proper processes to effectively diagnose EFI running problems. The Instructor for this course is Bob Hoard, former Marine Instructor at Oakland Tech Center in Pontiac, MI. and former Mercury and Mercruiser instructor

IO-202 Marine M.P.I. Sterndrive and Inboard 2001 to Current Systems This class covers Mercruiser ECM and PCM 555 systems for a better understanding of how to properly diagnose using scan tools and other diagnostic equipment. Also other related components will be covered including ignition systems, fuel systems and sensors to help the technician with testing methods for proper repairs the first time, along with proper maintenance, Other topics covered will be in-depth system failures including ECM failures and how to determine what is the best repair for the boat owner, plus how to prevent further failures. Other in-depth topics will be covered including aftermarket stand alone EFI systems, plus fuel injectors, testing and flow testing do's and don'ts. The course will also show how a technician can pin point whether the problem is with the fuel injectors themselves. The last part of the class will discuss the current marine fuel injection systems and where it is heading in the future. The instructor for the course is John Mosetti, owner of Boats Unlimited, Manufacturing Lavey Craft Custom Performance Boats and Member of AERA Engine Builders Association. IO-E05 Installation and Service Bravo, Alpha Drives and Transom Assembles This course will cover the installation and servicing of Bravo 1,2,3 and its transoms assemble. The course will also highlight the service of the Alpha drive. With the Alpha drive its important to understand that although the Mercruiser Alpha drive can be replaced with aftermarket drives for less money, they too will need servicing that require the same

5

service tools. During this course the instructor will concentrate on the problem areas that are typically found in the field, and he will discuss the service bulletins that pertain to correcting these problems. This course will also cover the proper installation and service of the transom assembles. Students will also learn shifting, cooling and corrosion problems associated with the drive system, along with important preventive maintenance. The Instructor for this course is Bob Hoard, former Marine Instructor at Oakland Tech Center in Pontiac, MI. and former Mercury and Mercruiser instructor IO-E06 Marine Catalyst Systems This class will cover gasoline marine catalyst systems and all the related systems. Topics covered will start out with the benefits of having a catalyst system in marine applications and the problems that can arise with marine catalyst systems. System components will be covered in-depth, along with proper maintenance, winterization and summerization. Also covered will be in-depth diagnostics along with current scan tools and testing equipment to help the technician understand how to perform proper repairs. This class is for technicians who never had any Catalyst training for OEM marine applications or who had brief overviews and very basic training about marine catalyst engines. This course would be ideal if you plan on working on these systems, or if you have seen a few marine catalyst engines per year, and you want to further your knowledge and grow this end of your service work. The instructor for the class is John Mosetti, see above for bio.

TECHNICAL SKILL SET TRAINING (SS Series) SS-103 CAN Bus Systems Technology (Prerequisite Course) Today’s hottest technology for both engine and boat system control is CAN Bus technology. CAN Bus is the new central nervous system (communication network) for modern marine systems and is used by virtually all engine manufacturers and most production boat builders. This technology allows the operator to observe and control the propulsion system, electronic navigation, and other systems such as fuel and water tanks. As complex as it sounds, the built-in diagnostics simplify the use and diagnostics of the CAN Bus system. This course will explain the architecture of the CAN Bus, how it works and the various versions used today. Not all CAN Bus systems are the same or compatible. Hands-on experience with a simplified CAN Bus system is used. Will Smith former WyoTech instructor now with Marine Engineering Group LLC is the instructor for this class.

In addition to the course credits received from taking MCTINA training during NMSE ’18 all students who have taken MCTINA training courses within the last five years (Jan. 2012 to the present) will also receive credit toward their specialist path of choice. Once the required numbers of credits are successfully completed students will qualify to take the final exam to gain AMTECH recognition in the following specialties:

• Outboard Engine Specialist • Inboard I/O Engine Specialist • Advanced Systems Specialist (combines both OB and Inboard)

Alumni of MCTINA Technicians Specialist Course Designations

Qualified courses are identified by the specialist prefix designation, i.e. OB followed by the course number, i.e. 201, 302, followed by the number of hours, for example OB302-08. These course credits count toward specialization. Elective courses are designated with the letter ‘E’ i.e. SSE-02-08. Although elective courses are not required for specialist recognition, the credit hours you gain from these courses will count toward specialization, and will help in your overall knowledge of that specific area of specialization. All elective courses are strongly recommended.
