Outboard Motor Service Gold Coast

There’s nothing like messing around in boats. But a perfect day out boating can become a nightmare in minutes if you have mechanical problems with your boat, especially the outboard motor. All because you forgot to perform the required servicing, simple repairs, or protective maintenance to ensure you have a reliable engine.

A boat may often get used one weekend, then left sitting, parked up for months sometimes even years! Watercraft operate in the harsh marine environment, so the maintenance and servicing of outboard motors is very important to guarantee a great day out or weeks of fun with your boat. If your boat motor is not in good condition, it is possible that you may not get the optimum performance from your engine, poor fuel economy, or in the worst case scenario, you could be stuck miles from land in your boat that doesn’t work. You and your families safety when boating always comes first.

Many outboard motors have anodes externally mounted, but many modern outboard engines now also have internal anodes. These sacrificial anodes are there to reduce the corrosion of the metal components of your engine. Depending on how many hours your outboard motor has done, you need to look at the condition of the anodes as part of the maintenance and service.

The water pump is another area vitally important to the life of the outboard motor on your boat. Cooling water is circulated from the lower leg up through the powerhead into the engine block. A tell-tale jet of water from the side of the engine is a good indication of the water pump performance.

Oil and fuel filters are also critical – ensuring a clean supply of oil and fuel is supplied to an engine, and this can often be the cause of many breakdowns out on the water.

Spark plugs are often overlooked and forgotten about. These are the 3rd most essential items after air and fuel to making your engine start and run. The correct spark plugs for your outboard engine are vital, and they all have a different heat range and different spark gaps specified by the manufacturer.
