E D I T O R I A LWatercraft Engine Evolution

In recent years, marine engine technology has increased it’sdependency on computerised engine control systems andelectronics. A number of factors have prompted enginemanufacturers to evolve by installing sophisticated electronicsystems into their engine systems. One factor, EFI enginesystems have significantly increased in complexity in recentyears with the addition of many other systems such asSupercharging, which requires added electronics - used tosense and control boost pressure, operate the intercooler, readadditional sensors including control of associated superchargerfunctions. The major driving force behind engine evolution, isstrict emission laws set by governments - that are beingadopted by most countries gradually. Soon, all inboard petrolengines, including stern-drives will be fitted with emission con-trols to run more efficiently and to help minimize pollution.Routine servicing and maintenance jobs, that once only requireda toolbox full of basic mechanical tools is a thing of the past.

Today’s marine engines are complex and fine tuned - anddemand sophisticated diagnostic tools and computer programswith a greater demand of knowledge and expertise from MarineEngineers. For example, an OBD-M (On Board Diagnostics forMarine) system malfunction may appear to be fixed, howeverthe ECM may require the engine to attain specific operatingconditions before the component that was replaced is fullytested, so engineers will require some insight into how and whenthe ECM runs its component diagnostic tests. More emphasisto refer to factory service manuals will be required to determinewhen specific sensor and component tests are scheduled to berun by the ECM. The introduction of catalytic convertors, oxygensensors and closed loop fuel systems, also brings newdiagnostic challenges for engineers.

Are You Prepared?Diagnostic tools are required to enable these complex systemsto be interrogated, however engineers will still need to have agood understanding of troubleshooting and repair proceduresto successfully service and maintain these complex systems andread service information and other important data. Eachmanufacturer offers its own diagnostic tool to provide coverageof its own engines, which can be expensive or even prohibitive.Outside the dealer network, only a limited number of companiesoffer specialist watercraft engine diagnostic tools - for marineengineers and portside workshops. Choosing the rightdiagnostic tool for your business is crucial and naturally, it’s bestto do your homework and research all the available tools in themarket before buying, including finding out about after-care andwarranty. When you’re ready to buy, choose one with thebroadest manufacturer coverage and a user friendly interfacewith good after-care and technical support.

Innovative enginediagnostic tool fromAdvanced Diagnosticsrevolutionizes watercraftengine servicing andrepair for all makes andmodels.

The Future

Being prepared as change happens in the marine industry is avital pre-requisite for marine engineers and technicians. As theglobal marine market develops over the next few years,Advanced Diagnostics are perfectly poised to develop andprovide a range of software modules across all manufacturers,for marine engineers with high quality after-sales support. Astrong opportunity now exists for marine workshop businessesto enter the lucrative marine engine diagnostics and servicingmarket.

A recent report published by Research and Markets reported...“The global marine ports and services market had totalrevenues of $54.3 billion in 2011 representing a com-pound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% between 2007and 2011. The performance of the market is forecast toaccelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 7.2% for theperiod 2011 to 2016, which is expected to drive the marketto a value of $76.7 billion.”

Advanced Diagnostics are pleased toannounce the launch of Info Quest - an onlineapplication guide and technical informationsystem for key & remote programming forvehicle manufacturers worldwide. IQ is anonline resource developed by AdvancedDiagnostics specifically for automotive locksmithsand will replace the current PDF applicationguides.

IQ allows the locksmith to:• Identify what software is required• View application coverage by software• Access technical information for the system• View component location• View Training videos

A link to IQ can be found on the AdvancedDiagnostics website from Friday 14th September2012.

http://iq.advanced-diagnostics.co.uk

Using Info quest is easy, and can be used in twomodes:

Without Signing InAllows anyone to view basic information regardingthe application coverage of the key programmingsoftware. This is important for new customers tosee what application coverage we have.

Signing InAllows customers that own AD programmingequipment and have registered on the technicalforum to access more detailed applicationinformation.The login details (username & password) will bethe same as your forum login details.There are three search options available forfinding the right software when using IQ.

Vehicle Search, Part Search & Software search.Vehicle search allows you to search by vehiclemanufacturer. Simply click on the selectedmanufacturer and a list of vehicle models will bedisplayed, that can also be viewed by region. Thenby double clicking on the vehicle model anotherpage opens identifying the relevant software to beused for key programming. On this page you willalso find the correct cable and dongle to be used.Part Search allows you to search by software partnumber by selecting software from a drop downlist. Once a part number is selected a list of vehiclemanufacturers including models and a year startand end date will be displayed. This identifieswhich manufacturer the software can be used for.Software Search is the third option for finding theright software. When this option is selected a fulllist of manufacturers is displayed, in alphabeticalorder, including software part numbers & anyadditional software required for key or remoteprogramming.

For customer convenience, there is a print optionavailable for all three search options.

Currently, IQ is a website only facility however,Advanced Diagnostics are developing IQ Apps, forthe iphone and android type smartphones & theseshould be available soon.

IQ will be a live database that will be constantlyupdated. Advanced Diagnostics appreciate that IQwill also have errors in it, and have included acustomer feedback facility for your feedback,enabling us to correct any mistakes when we knowabout them.

We hope you find IQ helpful and we value yourfeedback.
