Unit of Competency MARC005 - Operate inboard and outboard motors
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate inboard and outboard motors, and to diagnose basic faults.This unit applies to deck and engine workers working in the maritime industry on vessels up to 12 metres. They could be working independently or as part a vessel crew.This unit has links to legislative and certification requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Operate inboard and outboard motors
  • Pre-start checks are performed on the motor
  • Fuel is checked to ensure there is adequate fuel, including a reserve, on board
  • Motor is started and stopped safely and correctly
  • Motor controls are used to manoeuvre the vessel safely to complete work tasks
  • Motor is operated within safe limits during normal manoeuvres
       
Element: Secure vessel on completion of work task
  • Vessel is moored safely
  • Fuel system is closed down
  • Vessel is secured
  • Fuel is stored to minimise environmental and fire hazards where appropriate
  • Unserviceable equipment is reported and tagged out as unserviceable
       
Element: Maintain inboard and outboard motors
  • Fuel filters are drained of excess water
  • Batteries and connections are maintained to ensure reliable electrical supply to the motor
  • Engine and gearbox oil is checked and lubrication is applied
  • Engine mounting gear is checked as necessary
       
Element: Identify basic inboard and outboard motor faults
  • Operating difficulties caused by fuel-related factors are identified
  • Electrical faults are identified, tagged out and reported
  • Motor propulsion faults are identified, tagged out and reported

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Pre-start checks must include:

amount of fuel in the fuel tank

appropriate fuel and oil

cooling water intake submerged

fuel hose connected, full and free of restrictions

fuel tank depressurised

motor attachment points

water depth

Starting a motor includes one of the following:

electric start

pull start

Propulsion faults include one or more of the following:

bent or broken propeller

broken shear pin or drive spline

fouling

spark plugs

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
