While regular servicing of your boat’s electrical system is recommended, it’s a good idea to carry electrical contact cleaner and a marine anti-corrosive chemical spray on board. This way, you can address immediately any electrical contact and corrosion problems you may encounter.
Two-stroke boat engines perform two basic strokes of the cylinder. When the cylinder goes up, fuel ignites. When a cylinder strikes down, the motor fills with gas, and exhaust is pushed out.
Has your boat been damaged by exposure to the elements? One of the best ways to restore your vessel’s many surfaces is through professional boat detailing. This comprehensive cleaning and maintenance process will remove harmful oxidizing elements and protect your boat in the future.
When troubleshooting alternator problems, you need to know if your boat has a Type A or a Type B alternator. Type A alternators have one brush connected to the positive battery terminal with the other grounded at the regulator. If one brush is directly grounded and the other connected to the regulator, it is a Type B alternator.
The fabric crypton features outstanding moisture resistance which is important when it comes to outdoor furniture or boat fittings, because moisture or fluid that penetrates fabric can be absorbed into the under-padding and create odors, mold, or other damage.
If you want your boat to last, make sure to store it properly. Weather can cause some serious damage to a boat’s structure, so if you’re storing outdoors, remember to at least store it under some protective awning to reduce damage from weather debris.
Since it's tied to the speed of the engine, an alternator spins incredibly fast to generate the electricity, which can also generate a lot of heat. Boat engines are designed to have airflow over the alternator, but if it overheats, an alternator expert can repair the damage.
When we take your boat out of the water for repair, we check the propeller for dings, cracks, pitting, and distortion. Any damage to your propeller can cause vibration that damages the drive train.
To convert your battery system so that it delivers alternating current like what you find in your home or business, you will need an inverter. You will also need to increase the capabilities of the alternator in order to reduce battery drain.
