Frequently Asked Questions

How often should rental boats be serviced?

Rental boats see much heavier use than private boats, so they need more frequent service. Follow the post-rental checklist after every booking, weekly checks between rentals, and full engine service every 100 hours or quarterly, whichever comes first. Annual service should include a haul-out and full inspection.

What is the most overlooked maintenance task?

The raw water impeller. It's a rubber piece inside the water pump that cools your engine. When it fails, the engine overheats in minutes, causing thousands in damage. Replace it annually or every 200 hours, and always carry a spare on board. It takes 30 minutes and costs $20-$50.

How do I track maintenance across multiple boats?

Create a maintenance log for each boat with columns for date, task, engine hours, and who performed the work. Spreadsheets work for small fleets. For larger operations, use fleet management software that tracks maintenance by hours or calendar intervals and sends you alerts when service is due.
