Maintenance

Engine maintenance

Your ship’s propulsion system should be able to take a beating and should be properly checked and cleaned periodically. When maintaining your marine engine, you should think about replacing the V-belt which drives the cooling water circulation pump in the engine. By taking it off and thoroughly inspecting it for dry cracks, you will know whether or not to replace this component. Surely this will be needed every other year. Tip: When replacing your V-belt during your engine’s maintenance, there should be some slack. You should still be able to turn it half a turn when you grab it with your thumb and forefinger. So don’t over-tighten it, as this will only stress the rotating parts and cause wear!
