AMS — Yacht Systems Specialist

A division of Accumar Marine Services

Power. Reliability. Endurance.

AMS Mechanical

Propulsion and onboard power service built around real diagnostics.

Clean marine engine room with twin propulsion engines and a central service walkway

Diesel engines, gasoline outboards, transmissions, cooling systems, and marine generators organized under one accountable mechanical division.

Real Accumar field work: twin-engine machinery space with clear service access.

Systems matrix

Propulsion and onboard power share more than an engine room.

AMS Mechanical follows the fuel, air, cooling, exhaust, electrical, control, mounting, transmission, and load systems that determine whether engines and generators perform reliably.

Diesel and gasoline propulsion

Diagnostics and service organized around the engine’s operating conditions and supporting systems.

Marine diesels and gasoline outboards
Fuel supply, filtration, injection, and controls
Air intake, turbocharging, and charge-air cooling
Raw-water and closed-loop cooling
Alarms, sensors, ECM interfaces, and sea trials

Generators and onboard power

Mechanical and electrical output checked together under realistic vessel load.

Fuel, cooling, exhaust, and ventilation
Starting, charging, controls, and shutdowns
Voltage, frequency, transfer, and load behavior
Mounts, isolation, sound enclosures, and access
Maintenance, repair, replacement, and commissioning

Drivetrain and running gear

Power delivery from the engine to the water, including the interfaces that influence vibration and performance.

Transmissions, controls, and shift interfaces
Mounts, couplings, shafts, and alignment checks
Propellers and running-gear coordination
Rudders and mechanical steering interfaces
Haul-out planning and specialist coordination

Engine-room reliability

The supporting environment that protects machinery, access, inspection quality, and service life.

Hoses, belts, clamps, pumps, and filters
Leaks, corrosion, ventilation, and insulation
Engine-room cleaning and greasing
Fluids, records, spares, and service intervals
Pre-passage and preventive reliability reviews

How the division works

Measure first. Repair the cause. Verify the result.

The process follows the complete vessel system—not a single component in isolation. That reduces unnecessary parts replacement and creates a cleaner service record for the next decision.

01

Capture the failure conditions

Hours, load, RPM, temperature, alarms, smoke, sound, fluid use, service history, and recent changes establish when the problem occurs.

02

Test supporting systems

Fuel, air, cooling, exhaust, electrical supply, sensors, controls, mounts, transmission interfaces, and generator output are evaluated before parts are selected.

03

Perform scoped mechanical work

Maintenance, repair, replacement, cleaning, greasing, component coordination, and access planning are completed around the actual diagnosis.

04

Load-test and document

The engine or generator is run under appropriate conditions, checked for stable temperature and output, and recorded for future service planning.

Division FAQ

Questions technical customers ask before the first visit.

What mechanical systems does AMS Mechanical cover?+

The division covers marine diesel engines, gasoline outboards, generators, transmissions, controls, cooling, fuel, exhaust, mounts, belts, hoses, filters, pumps, supporting electrical interfaces, and engine-room reliability work.

Why diagnose supporting systems before replacing engine parts?+

Many apparent engine faults originate in fuel delivery, restricted cooling, exhaust backpressure, electrical supply, sensors, controls, mounts, or load. Testing the complete system reduces unnecessary parts replacement.

How often should a marine engine or generator be serviced?+

Use the manufacturer’s hour and calendar schedule and adjust for heat, humidity, loading, storage, fuel condition, and operating pattern. Annual service alone may not be enough for heavily used equipment.

Do you perform engine-room cleaning and greasing?+

Yes. Engine-room support can include cleaning, greasing, visual inspection, hose/clamp/belt review, filtration, fluid checks, corrosion observations, access review, and documentation as part of a broader maintenance scope.

Can AMS coordinate haul-out mechanical work?+

Yes. Work involving running gear, propellers, shafts, underwater exhaust, through-hulls, mounts, alignment, or restricted access can be coordinated with an appropriate boatyard and specialist vendors.

Planned maintenance

Reliability comes from trends, not one annual oil change.

Planned propulsion and generator service should track hours, calendar items, cooling, fuel, electrical output, exhaust, belts, hoses, leaks, mounts, cleanliness, and changes from the last inspection.
