Mechanical Engineering Matthew Daniels

Shadow Responses I shadowed at Just Right Marine, it was fun and lot better than being in school. We had to go to a few different boats to work on them and fix them.

Problems and Solutions Most problems people have today with the marine industry is the fuel. The fuel now a days has a lot of ethanol in it and if you let your boat set for about a month, you will have this gummy crap build up in your carburetor. It will plug it up. If you have a electronic fuel injected engine, it will not give you near the problems a carbureted engine will. The engine will take about a year of sitting then it might give you some trouble.

Topics Discussed Some of the topics discussed are the fuel systems, electrical systems, internal parts of the engine, tilt and trim systems, and controls and hook-up.

Project Design Detail This project is supposed to be about marine mechanics and their careers. This project tells you about fixing marine boat engines and tells you about all the schools that you can attend.
