Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the most common types of boat repairs?

    Common boat repairs typically involve the hull, electrical systems, engine components, and fittings exposed to the marine environment. Hull repairs—especially on aluminium or fibreglass boats—are frequently needed due to corrosion, cracks, dents, or impact damage. 


    Electrical issues such as faulty wiring, corroded terminals, or malfunctioning navigation lights are also common, particularly in saltwater environments. Engine repairs may include servicing or replacing components like fuel lines, impellers, gaskets, or spark plugs. 


    Boats that sit idle for long periods may also require fuel system cleaning and battery replacement. On aluminium boats, welding cracks or reinforcing joints is a standard repair. Routine maintenance helps reduce the frequency of repairs, but any visible wear or mechanical failure should be addressed promptly to ensure safety and performance on the water.

  • Can saltwater damage aluminium boats over time?

    Yes, saltwater can corrode aluminium if the boat isn’t properly maintained. While aluminium is naturally resistant to rust, exposure to saltwater without regular rinsing and protective coatings can lead to pitting or galvanic corrosion. It’s important to hose down your boat with fresh water after each trip, check for any exposed metal or scratches in coatings, and service the boat regularly to extend its life in marine environments.

  • How do I know if my aluminium boat has structural damage?

    Signs of structural damage in an aluminium boat can include visible cracks in welds or seams, soft spots on the floor, loose rivets, or buckling in the hull. You may also notice the boat taking on water or feeling unstable while in motion. 


    Stress cracks often occur at high-pressure points such as corners, transoms, and near the motor mount. Even small cracks in the welds can worsen over time due to constant vibration and wave impact, especially if the boat is regularly used in rough or offshore waters. 


    If you suspect any kind of damage, it’s important to have it assessed by a marine repair specialist who can determine whether welding, re-sealing, or structural reinforcement is required.
