Boat Maintenance: What You Should Know About Repowering Your Vessel

Why Do You Need To Refit Or Repower Your Boat

Pleasure-boat owners long for the moment they set foot aboard their boat. Everything is forgotten and worries vanish into thin air. Their sense of happiness is only enhanced when the engine comes to life with a roar.

Your marine engine, after serving for extended periods of time, may start showing occasional glitches on your trips out on the water. While boat maintenance and boat services are vital, you shouldn’t judge an engine’s lifespan by its operational hours alone. Therefore, you might want to think about repowering your boat when:

• Your existing boat engine is becoming unreliable
• You start losing horsepower
• The engine fuel consumption rises above the normal range
• Boat maintenance become more costly and frequent
• You want to experience the benefits of new technology
