My engine is no longer under warranty, so why is a service important?
While warranty coverage may no longer apply to your engine, regular servicing is essential for maintaining the reliability, safety, and performance of your boat. It can save you money in the long run and contribute to a more enjoyable and trouble-free on-water experience.
Preventive Maintenance
Servicing your engine helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems. This can save you in the long run by preventing costly repairs.
Extended Engine Life
Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your engine. Components like oil, filters, and other fluids need to be changed periodically to ensure optimal engine performance.
Improved Fuel Efficiency
A well-maintained engine tends to run more efficiently, which can save you on fuel costs over time. Clean filters and a well-tuned engine all contribute to better fuel economy.
Resale Value
If you plan to sell your boat in the future, a well-maintained engine can significantly increase its resale value. Buyers are generally more willing to purchase a pre-owned boat with regularly documented service history.
Environmental Impact
A properly maintained engine is often more environmentally friendly because it emits fewer pollutants. This can help reduce your engine’s impact on the environment.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your engine is in good condition can provide peace of mind while boating offshore.
