FAQ
What are the most common signs a boat needs repairs?
Warning signs include difficulty starting, loss of power, steering issues, unusual vibrations and strange engine noises. Regular checks can help spot these early and prevent minor faults from turning into major problems on the water.
How often should a boat be serviced or inspected?
Most experts recommend a full service at least once a year or after every 100 hours of use—whichever comes first. However, boats used in saltwater or harsh conditions may require more frequent maintenance to stay in top shape.
Can boat repairs be done without removing the boat from the water?
Yes—many repairs, especially those related to the engine, electrics or steering can be done while the boat is moored. However, hull repairs or major overhauls may still require lifting the boat out for access and safety.
