marine-mechanic Occupational skill for the role 'marine mechanic' (also: cargo ship mechanic, container ship mechanic, mechanic on a ship, ship machinist, merchant ship mechanic, cruise ship mechanic). Use when the user asks for typical marine mechanic work such as: Disassemble and inspect motors to locate defective parts, using mechanic's hand tools and gauges.; Mount motors to boats, and operate boats at various speeds on waterways to conduct operational tests.; Start motors and monitor performance for signs of malfunctioning, such as smoke, excessive vibration, or misfiring.

Marine Mechanic

Marine mechanics are in charge of the engines and mechanical parts of the vessel and replace defective equipment and parts. They communicate with other crew members on the operational level. Marine mechanics maintain and repair the engines and other machinery of vessels such as boilers, generators and electrical equipment.

  1. Disassemble and inspect motors to locate defective parts, using mechanic's hand tools and gauges.
  2. Mount motors to boats, and operate boats at various speeds on waterways to conduct operational tests.
  3. Start motors and monitor performance for signs of malfunctioning, such as smoke, excessive vibration, or misfiring.
  4. Document inspection and test results and work performed or to be performed.
  5. Replace parts, such as gears, magneto points, piston rings, or spark plugs, and reassemble engines.
  6. Idle motors and observe thermometers to determine the effectiveness of cooling systems.
  7. Set starter locks and align and repair steering or throttle controls, using gauges, screwdrivers, or wrenches.
  8. Adjust carburetor mixtures, electrical point settings, or timing while motors are running in water-filled test tanks.
