The RNLI tell us that the most common reason for call-outs is machinery failure. Many of these call outs would be avoided if more boat skippers (sail and power alike) had a better understanding of how the engine works and how to carry out regular checks, carry out routine maintenance and perform basic, “get you home” maintenance
