Making sure your engine is installed correctlyRigging

Buying you rib is half the story. One of the reasons are ribs are so successful is that we ensure that the engine installation compliments the quality of the rib build. When we sell you the rib at handover we will offer you a launch and water test before you take the rib away. This ensures that you are happy with your new purchase and that we are happy that the complete package has passed our performance criteria's. All of our engines are installed by qualified marine engineers. Our sister company Fairweather Marine Ltd is an authorised E-tec Service Centre and a Masterzone  Service Centre for Mercury/Mariner products and an authorised service centre for Suzuki Outboards.. A badly installed engine will leave you with a poor performance rib!     Double click on any of the pictures to enlarge.

The rigging costs need to be taken into account when budgeting for your rib package.

When quoting on a rib package we would include the engine and rigging costs in with the quote.

Inboard and Verado engines are subject to extra charges which will be confirmed on a quote.

As boat builders we are reluctant for engines to be rigged by external companies as we cannot guarantee their work and this can affect the integrity of our ribs.

We can rig second hand engines if you are upgrading your rib in stages.
