What This Service Is
A structured, scheduled check of the outboard's core systems, aimed at catching wear before it causes a breakdown and keeping the engine running as the manufacturer intends.
Who Needs This
Owners of outboard-powered boats and RIBs in Naxos, whether the engine is used daily through the summer or only for occasional trips — service intervals differ accordingly.
What It Includes
- Engine oil and oil filter
- Fuel filter and fuel system check
- Spark plug inspection and replacement where needed
- Cooling system, water pump and impeller check
- Thermostat check
- Gearbox / lower unit and gear oil
- Propeller condition check
- Electrical system and battery check
- Diagnostic check where the engine has an onboard diagnostic system
Common Issues
- Impeller wear, which reduces cooling efficiency if not replaced on schedule
- Old or contaminated fuel affecting starting and running
- Worn spark plugs affecting performance
- Corrosion-related wear in a salt-water environment
When It's Needed
Following the manufacturer's recommended service interval, typically based on engine hours or elapsed time, whichever comes first. Naxos's saltwater environment can also warrant closer attention to cooling and corrosion-prone components than a strictly freshwater setting.
Our Process
- Discussion of engine make, model and usage
- Inspection of the systems above
