Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to diagnose and repair faults in the outboard and stern drive transmissions 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.

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 outboard and stern drive transmissions in marine vessels 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 transmission specifications
two different marine outboard transmissions with faults
one marine stern drive transmission with faults
diagnostic equipment for marine outboard and stern drive transmissions
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for dismantling, repairing, reassembling and adjusting marine outboard and stern drive transmissions.
