It's important to pick the correct boat parts for your maintenance or upgrade project. The following tips will help!

1. Check the Warranty

Some boat parts may still be under warranty coverage, which means the manufacturer would cover the cost. It's worthwhile to check since it could save you money!

2. Stick with OEM Boat Parts

As a general rule, it's best to choose an OEM boat part. It's built to match your specific make and model, so you won't need to worry about compatibility.

If you want to save money by getting a different boat part, it's wise to get an expert's opinion. Choosing an incorrect boat part can cause issues, from reduced boat performance to increased safety risks!

3. Decide Whether to DIY or Get Expert Help

Some boat parts are easy to find and easy to install, making for a simple do-it-yourself project. In most cases, it's best to let a dealership's service department deal with the boat parts. 

Let the experts help when:

  • You don't know which boat part to buy.
  • You can't find the boat part.
  • You aren't sure how to install the boat part.
  • You don't have the time to find and install the boat part.
