What is Marine Repowering?

Marine repowering means improving your vessel’s power source by replacing or rebuilding the engine. It includes upgrading to the latest fuel-efficient engines or replacing a worn-out engine with something more up-to-date. A few things to consider when repowering your boat’s engine are listed below.

Diesel vs Gas

Determine which type of engine is better for your boat and the needs of your boating activities.

Horsepower

Consider the power requirements of your boat and look for a competitively-priced engine that meets those needs.

Option

Consider all available options, such as turbochargers, multifuel technology, and electronic fuel injection systems.

Instrumentation

Most new engines come with sophisticated instrumentation, so make sure you understand how to use it.

Engine is Too Old

If your engine is over ten years old, it is probably time to upgrade.

How Long Does It Take To Repower A Boat?

It is one of the “magic” questions of the repowering process. It depends on the type of boat, engine, and the parts and services needed.

On average, completing a repower takes between one to four weeks. Some simpler projects can be completed in just a week on the lower end of that time frame. However, more complex projects can take up to four weeks or more on the high end.

Choosing the Right Marine Engine

If you want your boat to perform its best, you must select the correct engine type and horsepower. The wrong choice can result in a boat not reaching top speeds or handling well. Below are some key points to consider when choosing the right engine for your boat:

Gasoline Engines

Gasoline engines are typically used in smaller boats, as they have a higher power-to-weight ratio than Diesel engines.

Diesel Engines

Diesel engines are better suited for larger boats as they provide greater torque and increased fuel efficiency.

At Ignition Marine, we understand that choosing the right engine for your boat can be overwhelming. That is why our certified technicians are here to help you select the engine that best suits your needs, budget, and boat.
