AURRTE006 Diagnose and repair marine outboard engines
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in the two and four-stroke cycle outboard engines of marine vessels. It involves preparing for the task, selecting the correct diagnostic procedure, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the marine engines that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer outboard engine specifications
two different marine two-stroke powerheads with system faults
two different marine four-stroke powerheads with system faults
diagnostic equipment for outboard engines and components
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for dismantling, repairing, reassembling and adjusting outboard engines and components.
