In the cooler months why not give your speed boat a once over by the crew at Stegrah Mobile Maintenance. Yes that’s right we do it all.
In cooler months, it’s essential to prioritise several key maintenance tasks for your speed boat to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
1. Engine Maintenance
Conduct thorough engine maintenance, including checking spark plugs, fuel filters, and oil levels. Consider changing the oil and filter if necessary, as cold weather can impact engine performance.
2. Fuel System Care
Treat fuel with a stabiliser to prevent condensation and fuel degradation during storage. Inspect fuel lines and connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
3. Battery Check
Test the battery and clean terminals to prevent corrosion. Consider removing the battery and storing it in a warmer environment to prolong its life.
4. Hull Inspection
Inspect the hull for any cracks, scratches, or damage. Repair any issues promptly to prevent water intrusion and structural damage.
5. Propeller and Gear Maintenance
Remove the propeller and inspect for damage or debris. Lubricate propeller shafts and check gear oil levels.
6. Electronics Testing
Check all electronic systems, including navigation lights, bilge pumps, and GPS units, to ensure they are functioning correctly.
7. Trailer Maintenance
Inspect the trailer for rust, corrosion, and damage. Check tire pressure and tread, and grease wheel bearings.
8. Interior Cleaning and Protection
Clean the boat’s interior thoroughly, removing any dirt, debris, or moisture. Consider using a protective cover to shield the interior from the elements.
By performing these maintenance tasks during the cooler months, you can ensure your speed boat remains in excellent condition and is ready for action when warmer weather returns.
