Official Volvo Penta Dealer

Being an authorized dealer means having access to genuine parts, the brand’s technical documentation, and Volvo Penta’s diagnostic tools. For electronically controlled engines, this allows technicians to read fault codes and adjust parameters as specified by the manufacturer, and the work performed is covered under warranty.

Engine Replacement: How It’s Done

Engine replacement is a delicate job best performed in a workshop equipped with a crane:

1. Assessment of the engine mount, shaft, or stern and compatibility with the new engine.
2. Removal and hoisting of the old engine.
3. Adaptation of the engine mounts, exhaust, cooling system, and wiring.
4. Lifting and installation of the new engine.
5. Alignment of the shaft and in-port testing.
6. Sea trial and final adjustments.

Paint and Fiberglass

A good paint job starts with repairing dents and cracks in the fiberglass, sanding, and applying the proper primer. Doing this with the boat out of the water and in a protected environment—as shown in the workshop photos—is what guarantees a long-lasting finish.

Tips for Preparing for the Season

• Check the engine in the spring: oil, filters, impeller, and anodes.
• Reapply antifouling if 12 to 24 months have passed.
• Check the electronics and batteries before your first outing.
• Inspect the rigging if you have a sailboat.

Altea and the Marina Baixa

The Altea Yacht Club is one of the leading marinas in the Marina Baixa region, located between Calpe and Benidorm. Having its workshop located within the marina allows it to serve both boats moored at the club and those arriving from nearby ports for dry docking, an engine replacement, or paint and fiberglass repairs.

Pressure Washing

Cleaning the hull with a pressure washer immediately after hauling the boat out is the first step in any haul-out: it removes algae and barnacles and reveals the true condition of the underwater hull, the sea inlets, and the anodes.
