Yacht Engine Checks

A yachts engine is the most crucial part of your vessel as it propels you to your required destinations. If you were to suffer engine failure whilst out at sea, it is potentially dangerous and difficult to repair.  Here are five things to check before leaving the dock.

Replace engine fluids and filters annually, even if they look in good condition.

Inspect the cooling system and associated hoses and replace any that are damaged.

Check the fuel system including connections, hoses etc.  Replace any that are not in top condition and check for leaks.

Make sure that the exhaust and ventilation systems are all working correctly.

Clean and inspect the spark plugs.  Replace any that are damaged or not looking in top condition.

If these things five points are checked regularly, you can ensure that your boat remains operational and in top condition for the duration of your sailings.
