A poorly maintained engine may run irregularly and cause problems such as excessive fuel consumption, leaks, bad odors, or erratic starting. These issues can lead to serious failures that compromise navigation safety.
That’s why regular maintenance is highly recommended. After every trip — especially in saltwater — simple procedures can help clean your engine. These quick 30-minute checks can detect malfunctions like water, fuel or oil leaks, overheating, or water pump issues. This also helps verify that anodes are working and protects engine components from abnormal corrosion.
To ensure reliable engine performance, we strongly recommend a professional inspection before each boating season. This guarantees better care and extends the engine’s lifespan. Of course, you can also perform maintenance yourself. If your outboard motor is stored dry or your boat is docked with access to fresh water, flushing it with fresh water is essential to remove internal salt buildup.
In our online store, you’ll find all essential products for your boat engine’s maintenance and servicing: oil filters, fuel/diesel filters, 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine oils, anti-corrosion sprays, marine lubricants and greases, engine cleaners, belts, impeller outlets, and more.
