Carburettor overhaul · Boat engines

Is your boat or outboard hard to start, or does the engine keep cutting out?

Whether you have a sloop, a motorboat or a dinghy with an outboard: marine carburettors have a hard life. Modern petrol is full of ethanol, and the long lay-up between seasons does the rest: the fine passages and the float chamber get dirty and clogged. Inboard or outboard, most starting and running problems on the water come down to exactly one thing: a dirty or worn carburettor. We make it like new again, down to the smallest detail, so you can head out on the water with complete peace of mind.

The more you recognise, the more likely it is that the carburettor is due an overhaul.

On the water, reliability is safety too

A petrol leak or a strong petrol smell is an extra fire risk in an enclosed engine bay or out on the water: fumes linger, and there's nowhere to get clear quickly. And an engine that runs poorly can let you down exactly where you can't simply pull over to the side. Petrol also has a cooling effect: if your carburettor runs too lean, combustion gets hotter than intended, and over time that can damage valves and pistons. An overhaul is about more than comfort and economy · above all it protects your engine and yourself.

Our marine mechanic comes to your boat

Rather leave the on-board spannering to us? Our own marine mechanic comes to you, at the marina or on location in the Netherlands. We remove the carburettor (or the complete set) on board, overhaul them down to the last detail in our workshop, then refit them and set everything up perfectly on your boat. A complete engine service on location is possible too. Just mention in your request if you'd like a mechanic.
