Repower Boat Diesel Engine Ventura
Extend the life of your boat with an engine repower. Boats are designed to take a beating. A boat’s engine is not. A well-designed hull can last for decades, well past when most engines begin to fade out. If you love your boat but the engine’s a goner, repowering is an affordable option.
Decision Time. New or Rebuilt?
Avoid Battery Problems
- Always replace the engine cranking battery with another marine battery, which has thicker plates and a more-robust design than an auto battery to withstand the vibration and pounding a boat can deliver.
- Secure the marine battery with a good battery tray, which should have a base that is screwed or bolted to the boat and either a rigid bracket or a locking strap to hold it to the base. You don’t want the battery banging around in rough water.
- Frequently check the battery terminal connections to make sure they are snug and free of corrosion.
- If you use the boat infrequently, use a maintenance-type battery charger to keep the battery fully charged between outings.
Diesel Issues
Keep the tank full and use a quality diesel additive to prevent microbial growth. Check the fuel filter inspection bowl for water before every trip.
Clogged sea strainers are the most-frequent cause of engine failure on inboard diesel engines (and inboard gasoline engines). A fouled strainer prevents raw water from being drawn into the cooling system. Check yours before each outing.
Boat maintenance, as a whole, is actually quite similar to automobile maintenance. There are a few very basic items that require constant maintenance which the owner normally takes care of, and a few items that require maintenance at regular intervals which some owners deal with, but most people leave to the professionals.
