Maintenance Services
Just like cars, boats need regular maintenance to run smoothly and safely. With proper care, maintenance and upkeep, you can expect your vessel to last a long time and provide many memories, whether you go boating for leisure, work purposes or both. There are many aspects of boat maintenance that can be completed by owners but as you would a car the larger tasks and annual servicing is much better completed by our professional factory trained engineers.
We are servicing experts for the following:
Servicing
A winter service is essential to the long term health of a marine engine no matter what size or type or how much use it has had. During use the oil absorbs contaminants and condensation from the combustion process and the harsh environment in which it operates. An oil and filter change is the minimum service you should be considering and the best time to do this is before the winter layup. Leaving contaminated oil in the engine over the winter will lead to greater wear and tear and reduced engine life. Combining an end of season engine service with fuel tank top ups, battery checks, anti fouling, plumbing and electrical works is the best care you can give your boat to maintain reliability and the value of your investment.
It’s recommended you book your re-commissioning at the same time as your winterisation so you can be sure your boat is up and running when you want it at the start on next season.

All our engineers are qualified and manufacturer trained to ensure we provide expert service. They are equipped with specialist diagnostic tooling for the very latest range of electronic managed diesel engines.
A dynamometer, also known as a ‘dyno’, is a device that measures force, torque or power. We’re able to use our Dynamometer to test the engine performance for comparison to the manufacture’s specifications. The device is used to test engines that have been removed from your boat or commercial vessel so we can determine when an engine is overheating or identifying intermittent performance or senser issues. Ultimately it can save time and complications at point of re-installation and we’re one of the few marine engineering companies in the south of England that holds this piece of equipment.
