When to Consider Marine Repowering?

A big decision like repowering your boat is not to be taken lightly, as you will have to live with the results for a while. That said, there are certain times when repowering your boat becomes necessary.

Engine is Too Old

If your engine is over 15 years old, it is probably time to upgrade.

Poor Performance

If your boat engine is struggling or not producing power due to low compression, you might need to replace it.

High Maintenance Costs

A repower might be the best option if you're constantly paying high repair and maintenance fees.

Whether you are looking to repower your boat or yacht for personal or commercial use, Ignition Marine can help.

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.
