25.01.2022 Unfortunately a new spark plug won't fix the issue

25.01.2022 One of the most important things that people need to remember when working on their boat, is that nothing should ever be bolted together with dry threads, always use a lubricant such as Never-Seize, to avoid problems like drilling out this broken shift cable.

24.01.2022 The importance of regular inspection and maintenance of Stern drives. I just found this fishing line around the output shaft behind the prop, when the line gets under the seal, is when you start loosing oil, and drawing in salt water.

23.01.2022 Onboard the MV Bennelong, getting the Rolls Royce engines, serviced and ready for the Sydney Vivid Lights festival

22.01.2022 Have you checked your bilge pumps? This Yanmar starter motor was the result of a failed float switch on the bilge pump! #boatinginsydney #marineengineservicing

22.01.2022 Beautiful still winters day down the Woronora river, too good to be working

21.01.2022 Getting this 26 Caribbean ready for Xmas, full service on engines and drive units, including 4 new trim rams and hoses, then hell be off fishing!

21.01.2022 I cant stress enough for people to get an independent inspection including an on water trial, before buying a second hand boat.

20.01.2022 Removing broken spark plugs from the cylinder head of a Big Block Chev/MerCruiser. A little bit of regular maintenance could save a whole lot of hassles! Next bit of fun will be removing the manifold Bolts!

20.01.2022 Time for a repowering, and a few little upgrades

19.01.2022 When installing the oil filter, screw down till the rubber gasket contacts the housing face, then tighten 3/4 of a turn, then you will avoid this situation!

17.01.2022 Time for some new propellers

17.01.2022 Carrying out a pre-purchase inspection on a 5.7L Volvo Penta

17.01.2022 Over heating problem? Old broken anodes, left inside the heat exchangers, Records showed that the engines had been serviced regulary???

17.01.2022 Perfect winters day on the Georges River for a cruise, one of the many services I provide is a valet service, looking after boats that owners are sometimes too busy, all boats need to be started and run, at least every 2 weeks

15.01.2022 Carrying out stern drive service on this 32 Mustang #boatinglife #Mustangboats #mercruiser

14.01.2022 Out with the old and on with the new, all ready for the summer season, #volvopenta3L #whittley2080 Full engine and drive unit serviced with new manifold and riser fitted!

14.01.2022 One of the challenges now days with older engines, such as this Rolls Royce engine, is that a lot of components, cant be bought Off the shelve and have to be hand made and fitted, luckily I have my 4 legged foreman here to assist me.

14.01.2022 This boat was serviced and antifouled late last year, and I told the owner that he needed to use the boat regularly! I tried!

12.01.2022 Installing a new shift cable kit to this MerCruiser Alpha one, which had been taking water through a small split in the bellows

10.01.2022 Annual service on an inboard engine should always include inspection of the exhaust riser gaskets

10.01.2022 Annual service an insurance survey on this 26 Caribbean #caribbeanboats #mercruiser #boatinsurance #boatsurvey... #boatinglife #clubmarine See more

10.01.2022 Too nice a day to be working, Id rather be out cruising!

09.01.2022 I see this all too often, whilst to the owner, everything looked okay, unfortunately the exhaust manifold has failed, and over the winter months has allowed water to leak into the back cylinder of the engine, causing a loss of compression on that cylinder.

09.01.2022 Carrying out regular systems check, main engines and generator, on this 46 Mustang, Ive been looking after for the last few years

08.01.2022 Service and Tune on this old MerCruiser 470, whilst modern technology is great, I still appreciate the simplicity of a points ignition system

08.01.2022 Surveying this 32 Steber, prior to commencing a restoration project

08.01.2022 New PSS shaft seal assembly fitted, done and back in the water

07.01.2022 Out with the old and getting ready for the new, watch this space!

07.01.2022 Just making sure this customers boat is running fine before the long weekend

07.01.2022 A common cause of overheating, whilst the impeller was in good condition, a combination of excessive wear of the pump housing, and marine growth in the raw water intake passage, leads to low raw water pressure, causing the engine to overheat under load.

06.01.2022 It never ceases to amaze me how lazy some people are; someone has fitted to new alternators to these engines, 1 wire must have been broken, so instead of replacing a piece of wire in the harness back to the next junction, someone has joined 4 connectors together to extend the wire??? and people wonder why boats Catch Fire!

06.01.2022 A little bit of regular maintenance could have saved a whole lot of heartache

06.01.2022 This engine should have around 175PSI, unfortunately due to water ingress into the back cylinder it now struggles to reach 95PSI

04.01.2022 Failed water pump impeller! This is why you need to start and run your boat regularly over the winter, and get your engines serviced at the start of the season, fortunately it was a quick fix and the owner and his friends are on their way out to enjoy a day on the harbour

04.01.2022 Another Stern drive unit, serviced and ready for the summer. Get in early, now is the best time of year, to get your boat serviced, antifouled and ready for summer!

04.01.2022 I hope everyone is staying safe, today is not a day to be out on the water

02.01.2022 Full engine and drive unit service on this 18" Crown line, winter is a great time to get repairs and servicing done, so that when the weather warms up, youre ready to go!

02.01.2022 The Repowering of this 25 Bertram with 2x 3L MerCruiser factory remanufactured engines transoms and alpha 1. Gen 2 stern drivers, is starting to take shape, and ready for summer boating season

01.01.2022 Installing a reconditioned Volvo engine to a 32 Steber
