Service Centre

Fish City Hamilton has a full marine workshop. We’re out there on the water ourselves and know how to set your boat up and make it safe.

Always flush your engine with fresh water after use.
Make use of Saltaway to keep your engine water galleries clear.
Use Quicksilver Corrosion Guard, Inox or a comparable product to keep the externals of your engine clean and clear of salt build-up.
Fuel Stabilisers are a good idea as modern fuel contains alcohol which will attract moisture, leaving water in your fuel tank.
This is the worst outcome for any engine, potentially causing a multitude of expensive damages.
Water separating fuel filters will assist in removing water from the fuel, they are easily fitted to most boats and provide an inexpensive remedy.

Storage Seal spray will protect the engine internally when left for long periods.
Grease points, but DON’T use automotive grease, use good quality marine grease.
Batteries should be charged before and during storage to keep them in good condition.
Regular servicing of your engine every 12 months or 100 hours will make it more reliable and keep you and your family safe.
Always adhere to the Manufacturer’s Warranty conditions.
Steering systems are an important part of the engine-servicing schedule and should be checked annually by an authorised or qualified marine dealer for safety reasons.

Beware of sinkers or hooks etc under-floor. Dissimilar metals cause corrosion to the hull, creating holes from the inside out.
Remove carpets so they can dry out, fill the boat up to floor level with fresh water regularly and allow to drain and dry.
