Regular boat maintenance is vital for a happy boating season. Your boat should be carefully checked over before your first outing of the season. Our recommendation is for full maintenance and service every 100 hours of use, or at least annually.
Our basic maintenance check for outboard and sterndrive boats includes an oil and filter change, gearcase lubricant change, fuel filter change, spark plug change if needed, checking the accessory belt, checking sacrificial anodes, and checking power steering and hydraulic trim fluid.
Beyond basic maintenance, our shop offers minor repairs for both outboard and sterndrive engines, steering systems, electrical systems, fuel systems, and batteries. Minor issues can turn into major ones if left unchecked, so any abnormality with your boat should be looked over promptly.
Our technician can also conduct major repairs all the way to rebuilding motors for both outboard and sterndrive engines. Boat repowers are an important part of extending the life of your favorite boat, and we can rebuild or replace any type of motor for your boat.
Ziegler’s functional service also extends to aesthetic repairs for your boat. We offer repairs for gelcoat and fiberglass, painting, and upholstery. If there is a service not listed that you are considering, just call and ask if it is something we can offer!
Each issue is carefully evaluated and diagnosed and then discussed with the customer prior to work being completed. Since the owner is also the certified technician, you will receive personal and prompt communication on any issues or work requests for your boat. For any type of boat maintenance and repair, consider Ziegler’s for all your marine needs.
If your boat is running well, but the interior needs an update, restoring your vessel can save you time and money. We can repair, re-dye and refinish tears and holes, scuffs and scratches to make your watercraft look like new again.
