FAQ’s
How often does my boat need servicing?
For outboards and inboard engines, most manufacturers recommend servicing every 12 months or 100 hours of operation. It’s important to perform regular maintenance to help prevent costly issues into the future.
Can I get a pre-purchase boat inspection?
Yes, we highly recommend you arrange a pre-purchase inspection to protect you from buying a dud! We will come to you and fully inspect the motor, boat and trailer to give you full peace of mind.
Can you determine how the outboard motor/engine has been run?
On modern outboard motors, a full engine diagnostics report will show hours run, engine RPM profile, temperature profile, fault history and any failures that have occurred during operation.
Will you stick to your quote?
We always do our best to provide an accurate quote and to stick to it. Occasionally additional repairs will be needed, but we always advise you of any additional costs and get confirmation before we begin them.
