FREE BOAT CHECK FOR MOORERS
To say thank you to all our loyal moorers, we would like to offer you a free pre-season boat check...
We know the last few months have been tough as everyone has been separated from what they love the most; for some that will be friends and family and others it may be their narrowboat?
Whatever it maybe we would like to offer all of our moorers a free pre-season health check for their boat, this is to assist you in getting back to boating as soon as possible.
Aqueducts free pre-season boat check will include the following:
Bilges
A visual inspected and emptying via bilge pump*
*(Subject to no contamination being present).
Stern Gland
Assessed for drips and wear of the gland packing.
Engine
We will run up your engine to get things lubricated internally and clear the damp.
The engine oil level will be checked along with both coolant level & mixture.
Batteries
Each battery is disconnected and tested individually; our battery testing equipment uses the specification of your battery to review and score its health on a scale of 1 to 100.
At the end of the health check each boat will receive a report card, listing results for the checks undertaken; if we feel anything is required this will be listed for review or we will call you on the day should action be more urgent.
Does your boat need a little more than our free pre-season boat check?
