Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to practices for the installation and testing of engine/plant and ancillary equipment relevant to propulsion, stability, steering and fuel systems for mechanically powered marine vessels.

Application may apply to drive systems such as inboard/outboard, water jet and side thrusting units (excluding outboard motor installation).

Site locations may include new or existing external and internal locations for foundations, footings, beds and frameworks etc. completed prior to installation and commissioning.

All specifications are applied using engineering drawings, written and verbal instructions. Straightforward modifications are of a minor nature not requiring specification changes or technical recording. Testing should be undertaken in accordance with manufacturer specifications, guidelines, requirements and limitations.

Testing procedures may include engineering practices for determining correct operational function of mechanical, fluid power systems, equipment, components and associated items.

Tasks may be undertaken in a workshop/site, moored or in a sea-trial situation. Work may be undertaken autonomously or as part of a team. All work and work practices shall be undertaken to regulatory, legislative and manufacturer requirements.

Where installation only is required, Unit MEM25015A (Assemble and install equipment and accessories/ancillaries) should be selected.

Where technical drawings are interpreted, Unit MEM09002B (Interpret technical drawing) should also be considered.

Where load shifting equipment, such as ride on forklifts/pallet trucks, is used, Unit MEM11010B (Operate mobile load shifting equipment) should also be considered.

Where moveable and fixed load shifting equipment, such as pendant cranes, travelling overhead cranes, monorail hoists and chain blocks etc., is used, Unit MEM11022B (Operate fixed/moveable load shifting equipment) should also be considered.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 8

This unit covers the installing and testing engine/plant and ancillary equipment relevant to propulsion, stability, steering and fuel systems for mechanically powered marine vessels.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to install marine systems. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with installing marine systems, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

interpreting relevant drawings, specifications and instructions

checking site for correct location, dimensions and levels

preparing site

preparing surfaces, materials and components for installation

checking machine/plant for compliance

following safety measures

installing and fixing components

levelling, aligning, coupling and connecting engine/plant (excluding electrical connections)

restoring site

disposing of waste in accordance with legislative requirements

completing reports and other documents

interpreting operational data of engine/plant and ancillary equipment

selecting and using test equipment

testing and verifying engine/plant and ancillary equipment operation

identifying faults from built-in fault indicators, error codes

analysing test results against specifications for faults

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

safe working practices

equipment used to check various site features and their use

marine systems, specifications, applications and non-compliance procedures

applicable safety equipment and personal protective equipment

relevant codes, standards

fixing/fastening methods components

levelling, alignment, coupling and connection requirements

relevant person(s) for making electrical connections

cleaning and clearing requirements

waste disposal obligations and regulations

reporting and recording requirements

operational requirements/specifications of engine/plant and ancillary equipment

testing procedures and principles

normal operating characteristics of engine/plant and ancillary equipment

faults and malfunctions

error indications in built-in devices

methods of determining fault condition

procedures for reporting faults

causes/faults in engine/plant and ancillary equipment

procedures for recording/documenting corrective maintenance activity

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Engine/plant components and ancillary equipment

Stabilisers may include electric, hydraulic or mechanically operated fin and/or tab types

Steering systems may include hydraulic, cable and wire-operated units

Fuel systems may include petrol and diesel supply operations

Instruments

Mechanical, pneumatic/electro-pneumatic, electronic (analog/digital) and associated instruments that measure variables such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, levels, lights, density or any other operational variable

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
