Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MARC005 - Operate inboard and outboard motors

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Operate inboard and outboard motors

  1. Pre-start checks are performed on the motor

  3. Motor is started and stopped safely and correctly
  4. Motor controls are used to manoeuvre the vessel safely to complete work tasks
  5. Motor is operated within safe limits during normal manoeuvres

Range Statement

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:
