Boat engines need careful care, in much the same way as a car engine does. This will ensure your boat is safe to use, as well as ensuring it is working to the optimum level, saving you money on repairs and on fuel. Here are some tips for maintaining your boat’s engine:
- Make sure you book in for an annual service. This will ensure that everything is working as it should be and it will allow you to have a full oil change, as well as oil filters and fuel filters.
- The engine can be winterised at the same time as well. This will protect your boat engine during the winter period when it isn’t in use. This is an essential process to keep it in good working order.
- Carry out daily checks, or checks every time that you use the boat. You should look at the condition and tension of the drive belt, check over the wiring and look over the pipe work.
