Marine Engine Service for Yachts and Boats in Cartagena

We inspect, maintain and repair marine engines, generators and auxiliary systems. Diagnosis comes first; the work, parts and estimated timing are then confirmed in writing.

Diagnosis before repair

We Look for the Cause, Not Just the Symptom

An alarm, power loss or overheating can have several causes. We review the related systems before recommending parts or unnecessary disassembly.

Scope and price are confirmed after the technical visit. If additional damage appears during the work, we document it and request authorization before continuing.

Visual inspection, functional checks and parameter readings when supported.
Clear written scope for labor, parts and required tests.
Coordination with marine electrical service when the fault involves starting or charging.

What We Inspect and Service

The scope is adapted to the engine, operating hours, maintenance history, installation and diagnostic findings.

Fault Diagnostics

Alarms, power loss, smoke, vibration, leaks, irregular operation, starting difficulty and unusual noise.

Preventive Maintenance

Oil, filters, impeller, belts, coolant, anodes, fuel-system items, clamps, hoses and checks based on the maintenance schedule.

Corrective Mechanical Work

Repairs involving fuel delivery, lubrication, cooling, intake, exhaust and related auxiliary components, subject to diagnosis.

Overheating

Inspection of seawater intake, strainers, impeller, heat exchanger, thermostat, circulation, hoses and coolant level.

Starting and Charging

Coordinated diagnosis of starter, alternator, batteries, connections, protection devices and voltage drop.

Pre-Departure Review

Review of levels, leaks, cooling, belts, alarms, charging and operation before a trip or season of use.

We Inspect and Test

We identify likely causes and determine whether further testing is needed.

We Present the Scope

Labor, parts, approvals and estimated timing before intervention.

We Repair and Verify

Reassembly, fluid levels, operating checks and follow-up recommendations.

An Engine Fault Can Also Be Electrical

We coordinate starting, alternator, battery, wiring and protection checks so mechanical parts are not replaced when the root cause is electrical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Marine Mechanics in Cartagena

What does a marine engine diagnostic visit include?

We review the reported symptom, fluid levels and visible leaks, fuel, lubrication, cooling, intake, exhaust, belts, hoses, starting and charging. When supported by the engine, we may also read operating parameters or fault codes. We then present the findings and recommended scope before repairs begin.

Do you provide preventive maintenance for yacht engines?

Yes. The scope follows engine hours, service history, observed condition and the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. It may include oil and filters, impeller, belts, anodes, coolant, fuel-system items, clamps, hoses, leak checks and operating tests.

Do you assess inboard engines, outboards and marine generators?

We assess inboard engines, outboards and marine generators. Service feasibility, parts, tools, timing and access are confirmed from the make, model, serial number, installation and initial diagnosis.

When should I stop the engine and request an inspection?

Stop the engine if a temperature or oil-pressure alarm appears, or if you notice unusual smoke, sudden power loss, strong vibration, fuel odor, a visible fluid leak, metallic noise or repeated starting difficulty. Follow the engine manufacturer’s safety instructions and seek qualified assistance.

Do you provide a written repair scope before starting?

Yes. After the initial diagnosis, we define labor, parts, required tests and estimated timing in writing. If disassembly reveals additional damage, we document it and request authorization before expanding the work.
