- Analyze EFI fault codes, fuel and ignition system anomalies, and cooling system malfunctions across multiple outboard brands.
- Review rigging, propping, and repower recommendations for correctness and completeness using real-world case studies.
- Assess lower unit and gearcase issues, offering insights into common causes, repair techniques, and best practices.
- Examine service documentation and warranty cases, identifying gaps or confirming adherence to OEM guidelines.
- Deliver written and verbal explanations that clarify complex service and diagnostic processes for a technical audience.
- Contribute to the creation of knowledge bases, training materials, and scenario assessments for AI learning.
Requirements6

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with attention to technical accuracy and clarity.
- Current or past role as an outboard technician or service manager within a dealer or OEM service network.
Preferred Qualifications1
