Boat Servicing and Repairs - Frequently Asked Questions

---

Repair timelines can vary depending on the size of the vessel, parts availability, and the extent of repairs required. We’ll always keep you updated should there be any changes to the original repair timeframe quoted. 

Timeframes can vary depending on current workload, booking dates, seasonal demand, and urgency of the repair request. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and advise of any changes along the way. 

We offer a wide variety of services including engine maintenance and repairs, outboard servicing and repairs, antifoul, electrical systems, navigation upgrades and repairs, and much more. Please contact us to discuss a tailored made option for your vessel.

At Melbourne Boat Works, we use genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) parts along with OEM approved oils or premium-quality Penrite Oil lubricants across our servicing and repair work. We never compromise on the quality of the parts, oils, or products used on your vessel, ensuring reliable performance and long-term protection.

Absolutely! We love looking after Jetskis as well as boats. However, please note at this stage, we are only authorised to provide warranty support and servicing for Yamaha outboard powered vessels only. Jetski servicing and warranty support will be introduced shortly, and we’ll provide an update once available. 

As an authorised Yamaha Genuine Parts dealer, we specialise in Yamaha servicing and repowers (outboard powered vessels only at this stage), while also providing expert maintenance and repairs for a wide range of leading outboard brands and all marine engines.

Genuine Yamaha parts are built for reliability, precise fitment and long-term durability, helping to protect the integrity of your engine and warranty. Our team makes sourcing authentic Yamaha parts simple, convenient and local. 

Repowering is the process of upgrading your boat’s existing engine to a new, modern outboard. If your current motor is unreliable or lacks efficiency, a Yamaha repower offers a cost effective way to enjoy the latest in marine innovation. We also provide repowering to all major brands of outboards.
