Miscellaneous Boat & Engine Accessories from Boote & Motor – here we offer practical small parts, consumables, and accessories for propulsion systems, engine compartments, and onboard operations – exactly the “this and that” items you often don’t realize you’re missing until you need them: 1,000 little things for maintenance, protection, repairs, and keeping things tidy onboard.
Our product range (subject to availability) includes brands such as Talamex, NGK, G-Nautics, and Navyline. Brand names are listed as they appear on the original packaging—this is important for clear identification, compatibility, and ensuring the right replacement parts (e.g., spark plug types, lubricants, protective and covering solutions).
This category is intentionally broad: it bundles accessories that don’t fit perfectly into any single subcategory but are regularly used in everyday life—from propeller guards to impeller/pump grease and other useful engine and boat parts. It is crucial that dimensions, materials, and applications match the respective engine/propulsion system—so that maintenance remains predictable and consequential damage is avoided.
Examples from the product range: G-Nautics propeller protective cover (gray/orange) and HPO propeller protective cover; Jabsco impeller grease for pumps (e.g., 43000-0802, 2.5 ml) – as well as other accessories depending on availability.
The correct version depends on the system/model and the application. For engine and drive components, always check the type/designation (manual, nameplate, old part number) and pay attention to dimensions and material. For consumables (e.g., grease), manufacturer’s instructions and temperature/media resistance are important. If in doubt: replace 1:1 based on the existing part.
Depending on the item, different factors are crucial: dimensions (e.g., propeller/shaft area, covers), threads/connectors (e.g., spark plugs), part numbers, and manufacturer approvals (e.g., pump/impeller greases). For engine compartment parts, temperature and oil resistance as well as suitability for marine use (moisture/salt) are also important.
Impeller grease facilitates installation and provides protection during the initial dry-run phase after startup. Use only a small amount as specified by the manufacturer to prevent the system from becoming unnecessarily “greased up.” Ensure that the lubricant is suitable for the specific pump type. If in doubt, cross-reference the pump model and part number (e.g., Jabsco).
A propeller guard protects against cuts, scratches, and contact with grease or antifouling residue during transport, while working on the boat, and during winter storage. It can also prevent damage to surrounding areas (e.g., trailer, workshop, storage area). It is important to choose the right size and ensure a secure fit on the propeller.
Work cleanly: Clean contact surfaces, use appropriate fasteners, do not overtighten, and document the installation position. Secure cables and parts against chafing; ensure adequate clearance from heat sources in the engine compartment. Always perform a brief functional test after installation (e.g., smooth operation, tightness, visual inspection).
After exposure to saltwater/moisture: rinse, dry, and store parts susceptible to corrosion in a protected location. Store consumables (e.g., impeller grease, spark plugs) in a dry, labeled onboard box. Regular visual inspections for cracks, corrosion, and damaged packaging prevent failures—especially before longer trips.
