Boat Generator Service and Repairs: From Leak to Peak Condition

Your Financial Compass: Navigating the Tides

Top Insider Tips for Staying on Course

1. Consistent Checkups: Akin to how people prioritize health checkups, scheduling regular generator maintenance ensures no surprises on the horizon.
2. Spare Parts Onboard: Always have a basic toolkit and essential spare parts. A simple fix can sometimes save a boating day!
3. Fuel Quality: As a ship sails best on quality winds, your generator does so on high-grade fuel. Low-quality fuel can result in residue buildup which can impact the generator’s performance and efficiency.
4. Keep it Cool: Overheating is a formidable foe – particularly in the warm weather months. Ensure the cooling system is working optimally and clear of obstructions. Make sure to regularly clean the cooling system, especially after a long boating excursion.

Q&A: How to Navigate Uncertain Waters

 How often should I service my boat generator?

• It largely depends on usage. However, a general guideline is every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
