What Are People Saying About ABYC's On-Site Education
Pursuit Boats held an ABYC course in their plant and said, "It was worth every penny. According to [Jay] Check, the company has been saving money. "With warranties down 22 percent in the last year he says the course has more than paid for itself." — Soundings Trade Only, January 2008
"I feel it is essential that manufacturers help dealers understand the importance of training such as the ABYC Electrical Certification Course. Right after the training, one of our application engineers noticed that the boat manufacturer he is based at had failed to add the grounding lead to the inverter that was installed. He was able to make them aware of it and make the correction. We have also begun to use some new testing procedures that Ed Sherman trained us on with regard to DC voltage drop. His depth of knowledge was remarkable. This is a very valuable class and we will be urging all our dealers to attend." — Rick Pruitt, Director Diesel Applications & Product Support Volvo Penta of the Americas, Inc.
John Sima, owner of Sima Marine said, "ABYC offers a somewhat different type of training [than manufacturers]. It's not only the motor, but also electrical, mechanical systems, air conditioning and refrigeration. A lot of these things are not taught by the boat and engine manufacturers. There are so many things in a boat that a technician needs to know." — Soundings Trade Only, January 2008
