Call the workshopRegular servicing is one of the most important things you can do to protect your outboard and reduce the likelihood of problems when you're out boating.
Even boats that aren't used frequently still require maintenance.
Engine oil, gear oil, impellers, fuel systems, batteries, anodes and other components can deteriorate with time as well as engine hours.
If we identify additional problems during servicing, we'll discuss them with the customer.
West Coast Boat Centre investigates and repairs a wide range of outboard engine problems.
Rather than automatically replacing components, we use mechanical testing, experience and diagnostic information where available to investigate the underlying problem.
Modern outboards increasingly rely on electronic engine-management systems.
West Coast Boat Centre has marine diagnostic capability for several major outboard brands, including:
Mercury • Yamaha • Suzuki
We also work with a range of other outboard engines.
Electronic diagnostics can provide useful information about engine operation and stored faults, but a fault code doesn't necessarily identify the failed component.
That's why we combine diagnostic information with practical mechanical fault finding.
We service, diagnose and repair a wide range of Mercury outboard engines. Whether a Mercury is due for scheduled maintenance, displaying an alarm or simply isn't running the way it should, we can investigate the problem and discuss appropriate repair options.
West Coast Boat Centre provides Yamaha outboard servicing and repairs in Mandurah, including routine maintenance, mechanical fault finding and diagnostics on supported engine systems.
We service and repair Suzuki outboard engines, including scheduled servicing, mechanical repairs and electronic diagnostics on supported systems.
We also service and repair Honda outboard engines. From routine maintenance to investigating running and mechanical problems, we'll assess the engine and discuss what we find with the customer.
An overheating outboard should be investigated promptly.
Possible causes can involve the water pump or impeller, restricted cooling passages, thermostats, corrosion, water-flow problems or other cooling-system components.
Continuing to operate an engine that is overheating can result in much more serious damage.
Starting and running problems can involve:
Proper fault finding is often considerably cheaper than repeatedly replacing parts in the hope that one fixes the problem.
Many Mandurah boat owners have older outboards that have provided years of reliable service and still have plenty of boating left in them.
However, age matters.
Seals, hoses, wiring, cooling-system components, fuel systems, sensors and mechanical components can deteriorate even when an engine looks clean and has relatively low hours.
We'll do our best to keep older engines operating reliably where practical while being straightforward with customers about age-related deterioration and repair options.
If you've recently purchased a used boat and don't have a complete service history, establishing a known maintenance baseline is a sensible first step.
A boat may look beautifully maintained while still having overdue engine maintenance.
We can inspect and service the outboard and let the owner know if we identify additional maintenance or repair requirements.
From the Peel-Harvey Estuary to offshore fishing, Mandurah provides plenty of reasons to own a boat.
The best time to discover an engine problem isn't at the ramp—or several kilometres offshore.
If an outboard hasn't been serviced recently, has been sitting unused or has developed a problem, bring it into the workshop before the next big day on the water.
West Coast Boat Centre is a local Mandurah marine mechanical workshop providing servicing, diagnostics and repairs for recreational boat owners.
We focus on practical fault finding, clear communication, quality mechanical work, realistic advice about older engines and helping customers keep their boats reliable and ready for the water.
Our job is to help customers understand what's happening and find a sensible way forward.
This page covers outboard motors. If your boat uses a MerCruiser inboard or sterndrive system, visit our MerCruiser Repairs & Servicing Mandurah page.
West Coast Boat Centre provides outboard servicing and repairs from our workshop at 8 Foulkes Place, Mandurah.
We work on a range of outboard engines including Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda.
We have marine diagnostic capability for several major engine systems including Mercury, Yamaha and Suzuki.
Service requirements vary by manufacturer, model, engine hours and use. Many recreational outboards have time-based as well as engine-hour-based maintenance requirements, so owners should check the manufacturer's schedule for their particular engine.
We regularly work on older engines. Whether a particular repair is practical depends on the engine's condition, parts availability and the work required.
Yes. Starting problems can have fuel, electrical, ignition, engine-management or mechanical causes, so proper fault finding is important.
An overheating engine should be investigated rather than continually operated, as excessive temperature can result in further engine damage.
