Engine and Boat Maintenance — Everything in one place

Preventive maintenance is the most profitable investment you can make in your boat. A well-kept engine lasts longer, fails less and holds its value better; a properly protected hull keeps its speed, saves fuel and resists corrosion. In this section of RepuestosMarinos.es you will find all the consumables, maintenance spares and protection products for outboard and inboard engines and for the hull itself, across every brand.

Engine maintenance

• Marine 4-stroke and 2-stroke oils — formulations developed for the marine environment: Quicksilver, Volvo Penta, Yanmar and high-quality equivalents.
• Fuel filters — Racor, water/fuel separators and decanters for diesel and petrol, replacement elements and accessories.
• NGK and Champion spark plugs — for 2-stroke and 4-stroke petrol engines, listed by brand and model.
• Fuel pumps, valves and connectors — including dual-fuel connectors.
• Engine coolant — antifreeze designed for closed marine circuits.
• Engine mounts — replacement silent blocks and flexible mounts.

Anti-corrosion protection: sacrificial anodes

More than 1,000 anode references from the leading brands Tecnoseal and Canada Metal / Performance Metals, in zinc, aluminium and magnesium, organised by engine brand and model (Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Volvo Penta, Yanmar, Tohatsu) and by type (lower unit, engine, hull, flange, propeller, shaft).

Paint, antifouling and hull repair

• Antifouling — Soromap and other brands to prevent organism build-up on the hull.
• Outboard and inboard engine paint — sprays and kits with the exact factory colour codes.
• Inflatable boat paint — products specifically for Hypalon and PVC.
• Marine adhesives and sealants — for repairs, joints, lamp seals and deck work.
• Hull repair — epoxy putties, resins and repair kits.

How often should a marine engine be serviced?

As a rule of thumb, manufacturers recommend an annual service or every 100 hours on 4-stroke outboards (oil, filters, spark plugs, anodes). On inboard diesels the interval is every 250 hours or 1 year. The water-pump impeller deserves special attention: replace it every 2 years even if it still looks fine, because heat hardens the rubber. Anodes should be checked when the boat is hauled out and replaced once they have lost 50% of their mass.
