Boat maintenance and repair on the canals
Regular maintenance is essential for any narrowboat or wide-beam on the inland waterways. Your boat will need a Boat Safety Scheme examination every four years, and staying on top of engine servicing, anodes, and hull condition in between will save you money and headaches.
Hull blacking should be done every few years to prevent corrosion. Most boatyards with a dry dock or slipway can handle this, and it's worth combining it with anode replacement and any below-the-waterline repairs. Book well ahead during spring and summer when yards get busy.
For engine issues, a good marine diesel engineer is worth their weight in gold. Many operate as mobile engineers and will come to your mooring. Keep a list of recommended contacts for wherever you cruise, because breakdowns rarely happen at convenient times.
