Maintenance

A boat is a slow conversation between the captain and the mechanic. Naucodex keeps a record of every service, repair and inspection — what was done, when, by whom, and what is due next.

What it does

  • Tracks completed maintenance items: engine service, anti-fouling, rigging check, electronics, sails.
  • Lets you set recurring intervals — every twelve months, every two hundred engine hours, every season — and warns you before the next is due.
  • Stores notes from the technician, photos of the work, and the invoice if you have it.
  • Shows a per-boat health view: what is current, what is approaching due, what is overdue.
  • Feeds the boat's PDF report so a future owner or charterer can see the full service history.

How to use it

  1. Open Maintenance from the sidebar.
  2. Tap New record.
  3. Pick the boat and the type of work (engine service, anti-foul, …).
  4. Enter the date and, if relevant, the engine hours at the time.
  5. Optionally set a recurrence: every N months or every N engine hours.
  6. Write a short note and attach photos or the invoice.
  7. Save. The boat's health view updates and the next-due date appears in your alerts (see Alerts & Reminders).

Frequently asked

Where do engine hours come from?

You type them in. Naucodex does not read the engine directly — it stores the number you give it at each service, and uses it to forecast the next interval.

Can I see the full history of a boat?

Yes. Open the boat from Boats and scroll to Maintenance. The full timeline is there, with photos and notes.
