Frequently asked questions
- How much does yacht engine repair typically cost?
- Hourly labor at a qualified marine engine shop typically runs $120–$200 in the U.S., with parts billed separately. A simple impeller replacement might be $250–$400 all in; a full diesel rebuild can be $5,000–$25,000+ depending on engine size.
- Should I take my outboard to a dealer or an independent shop?
- Dealers carry warranty work and have direct manufacturer training; independents are often faster and cheaper for out-of-warranty engines. For brand-specific issues (electronic injection, propulsion control), dealers tend to be the safer bet.
- How often should I service my yacht's engine?
- Most marine engine manufacturers recommend service every 100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Saltwater use shortens intervals — many full-time cruisers do 50-hour intervals.
