🔧 T Marine Tip Tuesday
Today we had a customer bring in a boat that was overheating. After diagnosing the issue, we found the raw water pump impeller had failed.
It's a good reminder that preventative maintenance is almost always cheaper than emergency repairs.
đź’§ T Marine Tip: Replace your raw water pump impeller about every 3 years (or according to your engine manufacturer's recommended service interval). Even if your boat isn't used often, the rubber impeller can dry out, crack, or lose its flexibility over time.
A simple maintenance item like an impeller can be the difference between a great day on the water and an unexpected tow back to the dock.
At T Marine, our goal isn't just to fix boats—it's to help educate our boating community so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time dealing with breakdowns.
