Marine diesel services and engine surveys
Twenty services across surveys, repair and the systems that keep a marine diesel alive. Everything here is mobile: the work happens where your boat is.
Surveys and inspection
Mechanical Marine Surveys
A documented condition report on your propulsion engines and generator, from visual inspection through sea trial.
Pre-Purchase Engine Survey
The engine half of your buyer's due diligence, documented before you sign and priced against the repairs it finds.
Oil and Fluid Analysis
Laboratory analysis of engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid to catch internal wear before it surfaces.
Video Borescope Inspection
A camera inside the cylinders and passages, so the decision to open an engine is made on evidence.
Sea Trial Testing
Testing the engines under genuine load, where the faults that never appear at the dock finally show themselves.
Repair and maintenance
Diesel Repair
Engine, transmission and generator service on marine diesels, from routine maintenance through a complete repower.
Engine Diagnostics
Find the actual cause before parts get bought, using engine management data, live readings and a borescope.
Engine Repower
Replacing tired engines with new power, including the mounts, controls, exhaust and propeller match that make it work.
Valve Adjustment
Valve clearance adjustment and tune ups that restore compression, economy and starting on high hour engines.
Electronic Control Repair
Diagnosis and repair of engine management, electronic controls, instrumentation and marine electrical faults.
Emergency and Dockside Service
Mobile response to your slip or the yard when the boat will not start, overheats or fails before a trip.
Preventive Maintenance
A scheduled maintenance programme built around your engine hours, so problems get found on your calendar.
Systems work
Marine Generator Service
Service, repair and load testing for marine generators, the system that keeps air conditioning and power alive at anchor.
Marine Transmission Service
Gearbox service, fluid analysis, coupling and alignment work on marine transmissions and drive systems.
Cooling System Service
Raw water and closed loop cooling service, flushing and repair, the system that causes most marine diesel overheats.
Heat Exchanger Service
Cleaning, pressure testing and repair of heat exchangers, aftercoolers and oil coolers fouled by salt water.
Fuel Injection Service
Injector testing, repair and replacement, plus fuel filtration and water separation on marine diesels.
Exhaust System Service
Manifold, riser and exhaust elbow inspection and repair, where salt water corrosion does its quietest damage.
Raw Water Pump Repair
Repair and replacement of raw water pumps, the small component whose failure overheats an engine in minutes.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Deep cleaning of heat exchangers, coolers and components where chemical flushing alone will not clear the passages.
