Due to the nature of their use, boats have to endure harsh environments and difficult conditions on a regular basis. Even while cruising in the calmest of waters, the boat and its internal mechanics, including the turbo, are still exposed to the elements. Over time the water, salt, debris and other substances can have a negative effect, leading to the erosion and corrosion of your turbo. As you can imagine, this is far from ideal!
Erosion and corrosion of your marine turbo will result in a decrease in performance, efficiency and responsiveness, before eventually leading to complete failure. If this happens, your turbo may need to be scrapped, and you’ll have limited options other than shell out for a new one. We know that boats can come with an endless list of expenses, and having to add a brand-new turbo and labour costs to that list is definitely something we’re sure every boat owner would like to avoid!
Marine Turbo Reconditioning
At Universal Turbos, we have an innovative solution that restores your corroded turbo and increases its longevity at the same time. We can enhance your turbo by installing an internal sleeve, made from anti-corrosive stainless steel. This works to halt any current corrosion in its tracks and protects against it taking hold in the future. The sleeve also improves performance and ensures your turbo offers optimal output at all times.
Stainless steel internal sleeves are available for a wide range of marine vessels, including those powered by the extremely popular Volvo Penta range of engines. From small pleasure crafts to larger commercial vessels, all types of boats and watercraft can experience turbo issues, and in those situations, Universal Turbos are here to help.
