 "NUTS 'N' BOATS" Preventive maintenance

Care is an absolute...Prevention is the IDEAL!!

Preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns and lost weekends

At "Nuts 'n' Boats" we take Boats seriously and not as nuts 'n' bolts...even though we utilized the saying for our logo ;) 

Therefore, we recommend to service your vessel once a year or every 100 hours of operation, as per  most  manufactures guidelines. By servicing your vessel at least once a year, you shorten the period that stays unattended and you prevent under waterline issues faster. 

Remember:

A vessel that doesn't operate that often , never stays in a good condition. Vessels and their engines, need to operate as often as possible to prevent moving parts from corrosion and rust. 

But also!

A vessel that operates frequently, inevitably suffers from wear and tear. Electrolysis and corrosion occur, not only on vessels that are stationary for a long period of time but also on those that operate daily. 

Lets prevent the worse on time and maintain the best of your vessel!

Be sure to you give us enough time to find the best deals for your parts and prepare a full day of labor for your worthy investment.

If you own a commercial vessel, then ask us about our package deal, that can offer you exclusive services.

"Where did it come from ?"

First let me introduce myself.

  My name is Nikolaos Bozikis and I am from the beautiful island of Corfu in Greece. You can call me Nickolas by the way, in case you are still trying to figure out the spelling ;)

Building a Marine Industry type of business was always a personal goal. Growing up around the Mediterranean blue waters, I started my work life as an assistant in a small marine workshop in Corfu; and it's here where I fell in love with marine  engines .The sound of a boat's engine was exciting  and the troubleshooting was very challenging. Over the next couple of years, I set my goals to finish school and become an Experienced Marine Technician. 

After working as a Marine Technician in Greece for 6 years, I moved to France in 2013 where I spent the next 5 years working on Industrial Diesel Engines in the Earthmoving Industry. The Industrial and Marine engines are pretty similar-they both use bare engines and gearboxes without any particular surroundings, like the Automotive engines for example. 

Anyway, long story short, life brought me to Sydney in 2019. I started my Aussie adventure as  a Marine Mechanic to one of Sydney Harbor's best Marine Workshops/ Company. I will always be grateful for the opportunity and the knowledge that was passed onto me; it's the reason I felt ready to start my own business in 2021.

2021 then, what a year !! 

So where did the name "Nuts 'n' Boats" come from? There's a  mechanic  saying: "Engines are just nuts 'n' bolts"... but for me it's more than that; it's all about the Boat! So there you go, "Nuts 'n' Boats"!!

Servicing boats isn't just a profession to me, it's a passion. I wake up every morning and I get to do what I love. The sea is my office and the ocean is my view.

There's no better way to live your life than doing what you love for work?!

 If you own a boat and you love spending time on it, let "Nuts 'n' Boats"  ensure that every second will be enjoyable! 

Let us take care of your boat so you can enjoy the ride!!
