At Wakeboats UK, we know how important it is to keep your boat running smoothly. With over 20 years of experience, we’re here to share expert tips on daily maintenance that will help prevent breakdowns, protect your engine, and ensure every outing on the water is stress-free.

Here’s our essential daily boat check-up guide to keep your pride and joy in peak condition:
1. Check the Oil Levels
Use the dipstick to check your engine’s oil level before heading out.
• Why? Maintaining the oil level close to the top line ensures optimal lubrication, preventing unnecessary wear on the engine.
• Need help? If your oil looks low or discoloured, we can help advise, top it up or perform an oil service for you.
2. Tighten the Belt
Inspect the engine belt to make sure it’s tight and in good condition.
• Why? A loose or damaged belt can affect the engine’s performance and lead to costly repairs.
• Need help? If your belt is loose or broken, we can fix it quickly and get you back on the water.
3. Check Coolant Levels (if required)
Take a moment to check the coolant reservoir and make sure levels are sufficient.
• Why? Low coolant levels can lead to engine overheating, causing significant damage.
• Need help? We can refill or replace your coolant and inspect for potential leaks.
4. Warm Up the Engine (Especially for LPG)
If your boat runs on LPG, let the engine warm up before heading out.
• Why? Cold engines are more prone to wear and tear. Warming up ensures smoother performance and longevity.
5. Monitor Gauges
Check that your engine temperature and oil pressure gauges are functioning and reading within normal ranges.
• Why? Abnormal readings can indicate serious problems, like overheating or insufficient oil pressure.
• Need help? If your gauges need fixing or you’re unsure why they’re reading high or low, our team can troubleshoot and repair them for you.
6. Ensure Fuel Levels Are Adequate
Always start your trip with a full tank of fuel.
• Why? Running out of fuel can damage the fuel pump and leave you stranded (not to mention needing a tow!).
7. Check Gear Oil
Inspect the transmission gear oil to ensure it’s at the correct level and in good condition. If needed check V Drive fluid too.
• Why? Low or dirty gear oil can lead to transmission issues, affecting the smooth operation of your boat.
Service Your Boat Regularly
Daily checks are essential, but don’t forget that boats need a full service every 100 hours of use. Regular servicing includes oil and filter changes, coolant flushes, and detailed inspections to keep your boat running at its best. If you use you boat primarily for Wakesurfing we advise a shorter service interval.
