Your diesel engine is one of the most critical pieces of safety equipment on your boat. It also happens to be one of the costliest things to replace.

You will be provided with tips for evaluating your engine’s health backed by years of experience servicing and maintaining diesel engines. Together, we will develop a maintenance schedule for you to follow to ensure years of service from your engine. You will receive step-by-step guidance on:
