WINTER & SPRING PREP
Preventative measures
Impeller Repair
​
The impeller is a crucial part of the boat's cooling system. A worn-out or failed impeller can result in an engine overheat condition. When an engine overheats it can be detrimental to key internal engine components. Manufacturers typically recommend that impellers be replaced every 3 to 5 years
Ignition Systems Tune-Up
A healthy ignition system is one of the keys to a smooth and healthy running engine. Electrical components such as spark plugs, ignition modules, distributor caps, and rotors are prone to corrosion and get worn out over time due to the nature of their operation. Spark plugs should be replaced every 2 years at the very least. The distributor cap and rotor should be inspected annually and replaced depending on corrosion build up.
Anodes
​
Sacrificial anodes are used to prevent corrosion due to stray current on a boats drive components. Failure to replace these when required will result in excessive corrosion and a shortened lifespan of critical drive and lower unit components. Anodes should be inspected annually and replaced as required
Bellow Replacements
​
Bellows are what seals the outdrive on an inboard outboard to the transom. Cracked or worn out bellows will rip and cause the boat to sink. Needlessly to say if bellows are not taken care of and the boat has a leak this can cause a multitude of issues. Bellows should be inspected every year and replaced as soon as they start to crack or dry out.
Prop/ Drive Service and Repair
Gear lube is replaced annually, when the gear lube is changed it is inspected for water in the drive and excessive metal filings. Water in the gear lube means that the drive must be resealed if the issue is not dealt with it can lead to catastrophic failure of clutches and drive gears. If excessive metal shavings are found this means that the gears and clutches are damaged or worn out and must be inspected. If left alone it will cause catastrophic drive failure and leave a boat stranded and in need of costly repair.
Full fuel filter service
Fuel filters are critical to protecting expensive fuel system components as well as allowing proper fuel flow. When maintained properly fuel system components can last the life of the boat. Most boats particularly outboards have several fuel filters within the system. As a part of our winter storage, all vessels will have the main water separating filter replaced, but we strongly suggest replacing the rest of the filters in the system every 2-3 years to prolong the life of fuel system components and prevent the engine from starving for fuel due to a clogged filter.
