Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to return marine outboard engines to original manufacturer tolerances and clearances. It involves preparing for the task, dismantling and evaluating the engine, carrying out the overhaul procedures, reassembling and testing the engine, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the marine service and repair industry. The marine outboard engines include two and four-stroke spark ignition engines.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the marine outboard engines that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
- marine repair workplace or simulated workplace
- workplace instructions
- manufacturer outboard engine specifications
- three different marine outboard engines requiring overhaul, including one two-stroke engine and one four-stroke engine
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for overhauling and adjusting marine outboard engines.
