Our team is ready and waiting to help you with all aspects of marine diesel services, whether you have just bought your first boat and need an initial inspection, want to set up a maintenance plan, or if your boat already needs repairs. Get in touch today and we'll schedule a consultation.
You may need to have your oil changed every 50 hours of use. Larger engines can often go longer, so it will ultimately depend on the type of boat you own. You should also change it more often if it sits for long periods. If you take it on a long trip immediately after sitting non-operational for any substantial amount of time, it can lead to sulphuric acid build up when combined with the use of diesel fuel.
Having clean fuel is one of the best things you can do for your boat. For this reason, you should only add enough fuel to operate it while you plan on using it. If you do not intend on taking it out again within a relatively short period time, as it sits, your fuel filters could become clogged. This has the potential of leading to major trouble down the road. You should also check your filters regularly to ensure they are clear of sludge or debris, and replacing them if they are dirty.
Your cooling system is one of the most important components to watch out for. Most engine failures in marine diesel engines are caused by a failure in the cooling system first. Having this system maintained is of the utmost importance to preserve the capability and lifespan of your boat’s engine.
