It's funny as I was in the reverse situation, somewhat and trying to get back to IT, first tier support or physical security. In a 'normal' economy good people, willing to work with a broad set of skills and education can transition careers. They have value in a tight labor market.
This economy........................................... ........................not so much. Is there demand for an experienced marine technician? Yes! Is there demand for an IT guy trying to transition into a very skill specific, blue collar line of work.............................................. ...maybe........... but only at the bottom rung.
If you decide it's your calling you'll have to reconcile the fact that $50-60k in income is probably down the road 5-7 years
