About This Project
An open database for marine maintenance schedules
Boat DB is an open, collaborative knowledge base focused on marine equipment maintenance.
Our mission is to create a structured, searchable reference of engines, generators, and other onboard equipment — including their recommended service intervals and maintenance tasks. Whether you're a boat owner, technician, or enthusiast, this site helps make maintenance information accessible and accurate.
What You’ll Find Here
- • A growing database of marine engines and related equipment
- • Maintenance schedules based on runtime or calendar intervals
- • Equipment organized by manufacturer and type
- • A foundation for linking gear to specific boats (coming later)
What’s Next?
We’re actively developing a mobile and tablet app that will let users:
- • Track their own boats and onboard equipment
- • Get maintenance reminders
- • Customize schedules based on real-world use
For now, the website is focused on building a reliable reference of shared maintenance data.
How to Contribute
This site works like a wiki — anyone can edit and improve the information, once they create an account.
- • All edits are tracked publicly
- • You can view the full change history for every page
- • A verified account is required to contribute (email validation helps limit spam and bots)
If you’d like to support the project, you can donate via Patreon. Every contribution helps keep the database growing and maintained.
