Boat Services We Offer - Sacramento, CA

Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for keeping your boat running smoothly and reliably on the water. At Roseville Auto Repair & Lube, we emphasize the importance of professional boat services to ensure your vessel's performance and safety. Boats, like cars, require regular attention to prevent issues that could lead to costly repairs or even hazardous situations while you're out enjoying the water. 

Boat repair and tune up

Boat repair and tune-ups focus on maintaining and enhancing the performance of powerboats and motorboats. This includes tasks such as engine maintenance, which involves checking and replacing fluids, filters, and spark plugs, as well as inspecting and repairing the fuel system.

Other key areas include the electrical system, where components like batteries and wiring are tested and repaired, and the propulsion system, which covers the inspection and maintenance of the outboard or inboard drives. Regular tune-ups help ensure reliable operation, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the lifespan of the boat.

Winterizing and Shrinkwrap

Winterizing and shrink-wrapping motorboats and speedboats are crucial steps for protecting your vessel during the off-season. Winterizing involves preparing the boat for cold weather by draining water from the engine and systems, adding antifreeze, and checking for any potential issues to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.

Shrink-wrapping provides an additional layer of protection by encasing the boat in a tight, durable plastic film. This shields it from harsh winter elements, such as snow, ice,and rain while also preventing moisture buildup and potential mold growth. Together, these measures ensure your boat remains in excellent condition through the storage duration during the colder months to avoid corrosion and decay of not only your vessel but your maritime fun.

Summerizing

 Summerizing a motorboat or speedboat involves preparing it for the active boating season after winter storage. This process typically includes checking and refilling fluids, such as engine oil and coolant, inspecting and cleaning the fuel system, and making sure the battery is fully charged and properly connected.

The boat’s hull and engine are examined for any signs of wear or damage, and any necessary repairs are made. Additionally, safety equipment is reviewed and updated, and the boat is thoroughly cleaned to remove any winter residues. Proper summerizing helps guarantee your boat operates smoothly and reliably throughout the boating season.  

Oil Changes

Oil changes on motorboats and speedboats are essential for maintaining engine performance and longevity. The process involves draining the old engine oil, which can accumulate contaminants and degrade over time, and replacing it with fresh, high-quality oil.

This also includes replacing the oil filter which provides protection keeping the engine oil clean and free of debris. Regular oil changes help to reduce engine wear, improve fuel efficiency, and prevent potential damage, ensuring smooth and reliable operation on the water.

Drive Fluids

Boat drive fluids are essential for the smooth operation of a boat's propulsion system. These fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, and lower unit gear oil, lubricate and protect critical components such as the engine, drive shaft, and gears.

Regular checks and changes are necessary to provide optimal performance, prevent overheating, and avoid mechanical failures. Proper maintenance of boat drive fluids helps prolong the lifespan of the drive system and promotes reliable operation on the water.  

Trouble Shooting

Boat troubleshooting involves identifying and resolving common issues that may occur during boating. Key areas to check include the engine, electrical system, steering, and fuel system. Common problems include flooding, the engine not starting or running rough, electrical malfunctions, stiff or unresponsive steering, and fuel-related issues like contamination or leaks.

Regular maintenance, such as checking the battery, inspecting the propeller, and ensuring the bilge pump works, can prevent many problems.
