Rebuild or Repower?

By

Satisfied with your boat but find that it’s powered by an engine that no longer meets your needs? Unsure if you should rebuild your engine or repower your boat? Not sure which is the right choice for you? It’s important to work with a partner who is highly skilled in selecting the best solution for your unique situation.

REBUILD

A rebuild done by factory-trained technicians is the next best thing when a new engine is not the right solution for your boat. There are custom rebuild packages for mtu engines available that are based on your specific needs, giving you an overhauled engine that regains its original performance. Genuine mtu parts, along with full factory parts warranties of up to nine years (or time before overhaul), ensure that your rebuilt engine performs to its original specification.

REPOWER

Today’s modern engines supply more than just a performance boost. Quiet operation, no smoke, and industry leading power-to-weight ratios can make your old boat new again. It’s important to work with a highly qualified sales and engineering team to collaborate with you to determine your desired performance characteristics and ensure that the best solution for your boat is selected. Full factory warranties provided by mtu and Volvo Penta protect your investment, just like when your boat was brand new.

A PARTNER YOU CAN TRUST

Choosing a partner for your rebuild or repower project is just as important as choosing the right engine. With over 165 years combined experience of supplying power solutions to the marine industry, Johnson & Towers and Western Branch Diesel are highly skilled in selecting the best solution for your specific needs. And with locations along the coast — from New Jersey to South Carolina — you’re never alone when you need support.
