You may have noticed a promising change on the Peninsula with Ovlov Marine opening their 3rd branch at Gulf Harbour Marina in June 2023.
The Ovlov Marine team are here to assist with all your regular inboard engine and outboard motor servicing and maintenance needs. They can also help you with full re-power estimates and options if you feel it is time for a full upgrade.
As Authorised Dealers, Ovlov Marine can provide you with access to the full range of genuine Volvo Penta and Yanmar parts. Ovlov have now also brought Yamaha Outboards and genuine factory parts and a trained service centre to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula – Yamaha being the most trusted and reliable brand available on the outboard market.
The OMGH team is headed up by Manager – Adam Hadfield – who has decades of experience and knowledge, assisted at the front counter by Debra Martin and in the workshop by his team of marine technicians who’s combined experience and local flair is further supported by the teams at the other two Ovlov branches.
Ovlov Marine are excited about the future of the Gulf Harbour Marina area – with the new marina development in the wings as well as easier commutable access with the pending Penlink road project.
If you need any of their services, give them a call on 09 424 1260, or pop into the newly extended showroom at 895 Laurie Southwick Parade and speak to the team, who will be happy to assist.
Ovlov Marine – Handy Boating Tip #1
Checking for water in the fuel
Most vessels are fitted with a water separating fuel filter and most of these have a clear plastic bowl on the lower end of the filter.
These should be checked every 10 hours of boat use to ensure that no water ingress is accruing in the fuel system. By the time the water indicator on the outboard or diesel engine (if it has one) goes off, its mostly too late and the damage has been done.
If it doesn’t have a water trap or you are unsure, contact Ovlov Marine to help. Racor and Separ are the most reliable and quality brands stocked at Ovlov.
