An outboard motor is the powerhouse of your boat, delivering the thrust and reliability you need for every journey. However, without regular maintenance, even the best outboard motors can lose efficiency, develop mechanical issues, or fail altogether. A professional tune-up is essential for ensuring optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity.
The steering gearbox is a critical component of your boat's steering system, responsible for transferring the movements of the wheel to the rudder or outboard motor. Over time, wear, corrosion, and other issues can compromise its functionality, leading to stiff, noisy, or unresponsive steering. Regular gearbox servicing is essential to maintain precise control and ensure a safe, smooth boating experience.
