Visiting our Service Centre from out of town? We have regular service clients that travel from as far north as Houhora and as far south as Wellington for our team’s phenomenal approach to customer care. If you’d like a one-day turnaround you are welcome to take one of our guest offices or meeting rooms for the day while you wait for your service to be completed. Grab a coffee and join our guest network. Plug into one of our hot desks and continue to work while you wait for your service to be completed. No matter what brand of boat you own, our expert technicians are qualified to service Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki and Honda. In addition to ensuring your engine is set and ready for some offshore adventures, our team can also book you in for grooming and detailing, or fitment of additional accessories.

It’s important to periodically check the condition of your capstan as well as your warp and chain for signs of deterioration. Be sure to examine your capstan’s motor and terminals. If there is any sign of corrosion or you’ve noticed changes in your capstan’s performance, contact the Tristram Service Centre team for advice. If your warp is in good condition but is slipping in the capstan when launching or retrieving, try tightening your capstan clutch with the provided tool, or schedule a booking with the Tristram Technicians to have your capstan serviced.

Last week Kingsley and Tristram accompanied Mercury Marine to experience the all new V10 Verado® outboard line up at the Miami International Boat Show. Available in 350hp and 400hp, this new 5.7L naturally aspirated outboard delivers extraordinary power for offshore adventures. In true Verado form, the new engine is unbelievably smooth, quiet, and refined. Team Tristram look forward to showing off New Zealand’s first V10 units at this month’s Auckland Boat Show, 23-26 March in Jellicoe Harbour.

Battery Isolating switches are fitted for your safety and to control battery charging and current draw circuits. The start isolator controls the engine and capstan circuits while the house isolator switches on all dash electronics. The Emergency Parallel switch should only be used when the start battery cannot start the engine alone. For more information about your isolating switches, please contact the Tristram Service Centre.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We wish you all warm water, big fish, good visibility, and a fantastic day with loved ones. We wish each and every boat owner in New Zealand an incredible summer aboard. Enjoy your shared adventures, immerse yourself in the peace and tranquility of the water, and use your boating experiences to recharge and refresh yourselves for 2023!
