To Bob Senter Alaska Diesel Thank you again for hosting me and a number of our fellow captains at your recent Lugger and Northern Lights training. The training was of great value to me and I came home with pages of notes and lists of things to check on my engines. I knew that Lugger engines were supposed to be the best but until this seminar I didn't understand why. As a former steel fabricator I have a good understanding of much of what Alaska Diesel accomplishes by replacing many parts that are made of gauge metals with parts made of heavier steel plate or castings. It is obvious even to the untrained eye that this makes a stronger, more robust, and dependable engine. I also appreciate the technical documentation that you provided on CDs. I am incorporating the relevant portions in our ships documentation. I encourage all other captains to attend one of your seminars when offered. It is well worth the time and effort required. Your generosity and depth of knowledge are truly appreciated. I look forward to seeing you again at the Anacortes Trawlerfest.
