Preventative Engine Maintenance That Keeps Charter Boats and Anglers Running
100-Hour and 300-Hour Services Tailored to Keys Usage
If you run a charter operation, fish multiple days a week, or cruise regularly through the Upper Keys, your engine is accumulating hours faster than most recreational users. Real Extreme Marine offers complete 100-hour and 300-hour service intervals designed to extend engine life and maintain peak performance in environments where heat, salt, and heavy use take their toll.
Routine maintenance includes fluid changes, filter replacements, cooling system inspections, belt and hose checks, and tune-ups calibrated to the operating conditions found around Islamorada. The service intervals align with manufacturer recommendations but are adapted to account for tropical humidity, saltwater spray, and sustained high-RPM operation common in offshore fishing and cruising.
Instead of scheduling around yard availability or hauling your boat to a distant shop, onsite service brings the work to you. This is especially valuable during peak boating seasons when any delay can mean missed trips or lost revenue. Techs arrive with the tools, fluids, and parts needed to perform full-service intervals at your slip or dock.
Thorough inspections are part of every service. You'll receive a detailed walkthrough covering what was replaced, what's trending toward wear, and what to monitor before the next interval. The focus is on preventing costly breakdowns, not reacting to them once they happen.

What Gets Checked During Each Service Interval
A proper service interval isn't just an oil change. It's a full systems review that catches wear before it becomes failure. Each service is logged and tracked so you can maintain resale value and warranty compliance.
