FAQs
How long does a standard outboard service usually take?
A standard service can typically be completed within a day, depending on the condition and type of motor.
Do you also work on inboard and sterndrive engines?
Absolutely, we offer full diagnostics and repairs for inboards and sterndrives in addition to outboards.
What is an outboard motor, and how does it work?
An outboard motor is a self-contained engine mounted on the back of a boat, combining engine, gearbox, and propeller to propel the vessel.
What are common signs my outboard motor needs servicing?
Difficulty starting, unusual noises, decreased performance, or excess smoke are signs that your motor may need attention.
What should I do to prepare my boat engine for winter storage?
It’s important to flush the engine, stabilise the fuel, fog the cylinders, and disconnect the battery to prevent issues over winter.
How often should I service my outboard motor?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your outboard motor every 100 hours of use or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
Do you provide mobile servicing, or is it workshop-only?
We primarily operate from our Hornsby workshop but may offer mobile servicing depending on the job and location.
What is the average lifespan of an outboard motor?
With proper maintenance, an outboard motor can last between 1,500 and 3,000 hours, often translating to 10–15 years of service.
Is regular maintenance really necessary if I don’t use my boat much?
Yes, even if rarely used, engines can suffer from fuel breakdown, corrosion, or moisture damage without regular checks.
Can you service all brands of outboard motors?
Yes, we service most major outboard motor brands, including Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Suzuki, Evinrude, and Tohatsu.
