Boating industry participation encouraged in Marine Service Technician Week April 24-30

by National Marine Manufacturers Association 15 Apr 2022 12:33 PDT April 24-30, 2022

To bring awareness and recognition to boating industry professionals who keep boats safe, reliable, and enjoyable, the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) has designated the last week in April as International Marine Service Technician Week. From April 24¬-30, marine businesses, associations, and boaters are encouraged to participate by celebrating and highlighting their marine technicians.

"It's spring commissioning time in multiple areas of our industry, so it's a great time to honor marine service technicians around the world," says David Broadbent, ABYC education director. "When a boat receives high quality and timely maintenance, our customers stay on the water, are significantly less frustrated, and potentially remain involved with boating for a lot longer. We owe a big thank you to ABYC Certified Technicians and others in the industry who excel at their jobs and remain current with the industry's newest trends and technologies through continuing education."
