Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule an appointment for boat mechanical maintenance in Adana?
You can contact Günhan Marine by phone (+90 531 029 12 84) or email (info@gunhanmarine.com). Briefly describing your boat type and the problem you are experiencing (shaft vibration, rudder play, pump failure, etc.) will help speed up the initial assessment.
Why is shaft alignment important?
If the shaft is misaligned with the engine or transmission axis, vibration, noise, and premature wear of bearings, seals, and couplings will occur. This will eventually lead to more expensive repairs. Alignment should be checked when engine mounts are replaced, when the boat is launched and relaunched, or when you notice vibration in the shaft. Günhan Marine performs maintenance and repair of shaft-propeller alignments.
How often should a seacock (seawater valve) be serviced?
Seacocks should be checked at least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the season, by opening and closing them. Valves that haven't been moved for a long time can become stuck. If there is corrosion, leakage, or stiff turning in the valve body, they should be replaced along with the attached hoses and clamps. Since seacocks are directly linked to the risk of the boat taking on water, pre-season inspection should not be skipped.
Is a bilge pump failure considered an emergency?
If the boat isn't taking on water, a pump failure may not be an emergency, but it should be addressed promptly. If the boat is taking on water, it's an emergency; first, identify the source of the leak and prioritize your safety. If the pump isn't working, check the fuse, cable connections, float, and battery, and replace the pump if necessary. Günhan Marine provides maintenance, repair, and replacement services for bilge and freshwater pumps.
What are the signs that indicate a problem with the steering system?
The main symptoms are a stiff or excessively loose rudder, a feeling of looseness, uneven turning of the boat to the right and left, hydraulic oil leaks, and noises during operation. Air leaks in hydraulic systems can also impair rudder response. If any of these symptoms are present, the system should be checked before going out to sea.
