Certifications to aim for
Marine electrical certification
Often seen as the hardest one. Corroded grounds and parasitic drains cause a lot of modern boat problems.
Marine systems certification
Plumbing, steering, fuel, heads and everything that is not the engine itself.
Marine engines and fuel systems certification
Covers the powerplant end of the work in depth.
Marine corrosion certification
Saltwater eats boats. There is an entire certification about it, which tells you how big the problem is.
Diesel and inboard specialization
Bigger boats, bigger bills, fewer technicians who can do the work.
