Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my boat engine serviced?
You should always have your boat engine serviced annually or after the manufacturers recommended amount of hours, usually 100 – 200hrs, which ever occurs first. Just because you haven’t done very many hours in the year doesn’t mean you should skip your annual service. Marine environments can be harsh and sometimes an underused engine can require as much or more looking after than a heavily used one.
How much will it cost to have my boat engine serviced?
Manufacture, age, condition, hours covered and type of engine all need to be taken into account when deciding on the level of engine service you require. And therefore the cost varies along with this, so it is always best to get in touch with us and we can get all the information required to give an accurate estimate of the cost.
