A thorough check of your boat may expose the need for repairs or replacement of propellers, propeller shafts, rudder stock assemblies and stern tubes etc. If so, then C&O Engineering (01626 367782) can offer specialist and bespoke repairs and replacement parts. An important check if you have gas appliances on your boat is your gas hoses and connections. LPG can corrode the hoses over time so a simple check can pay dividends.
