03 — The engineer

Naval discipline, on your engine.

LC Marine was built on the standards you learn in the Royal Navy — where an engine that fails isn't an inconvenience, it's a serious problem. That's the mindset every boat gets here: high standards, tidy workmanship, no shortcuts.

Our engineers are MCA-qualified and we're an authorised service centre for Tohatsu, Selva, Beta Marine, Solé and Hyundai SeasAll — but all makes and models are welcome, on the water or in the workshop.

04 — Common problems we fix

If it's stopped you
getting out, we've seen it.

Most of what comes in is one of these. Whatever it is, you get a straight answer and a fair price.

P/01

Won't start / won't run right

Electrical fault-finding across engine electrics — tracing the fault, not guessing.

P/02

Overheating & cooling

Impellers, thermostats and blocked waterways sorted before they cook the engine.

P/03

Fuel system problems

Old fuel, blocked carbs and injection faults — cleaned, rebuilt, running sweet.

P/04

Controls & steering

Engine-side controls, cables and steering set up properly and safe.

P/05

Winterisation & recommissioning

Laid up right in autumn, woken up right in spring — no nasty surprises.

P/06

Pre-purchase engine checks

Thinking of buying? Know exactly what you're getting before the money moves.

Trusted by Sussex boat owners
LC Marine undertook some repairs to my 14 foot Orkney — an excellent job making the boat completely waterproof, painting it inside and out, and fitting a sonar. Good service and very helpful, so I'm out fishing again and staying dry.
