Everything that a vessel does, including moving through water, is accomplished by its engine. Scheduled Maintenance for Marine Vessels is important most of all for your boat’s engine. This is because engines and their parts suffer severe wear and tear from natural use over time. There are no two ways about it, any combustion engine or diesel engine of any kind will need repairs and general maintenance to keep operating.

It is essential that you avoid any issues that could result in total and permanent failure of your boat. NOTE: These are John Deere periodic maintenance suggestions strait out of the service manual. Some of these seem excessive to me such as adjusting the valve lash or adjusting the injection timing every 250 hours. here at Santa Barbara Marine Diesel Mechanic, we can customize your diesel engines periodic maintenance to fit your needs.
