Refit & Upgrade Services
HG Marine offers practical refit and refurbishment services designed to extend the life of your RIB while improving reliability, safety, and usability. From electrical, mechanical, and steering upgrades to structural, deck, and fibreglass repairs, as well as collar and tube refurbishment, each refit is tailored to the condition of the boat and how it is used. Our focus is on safe, durable, and sensible improvements that add real value and keep your boat working as it should in demanding marine conditions.
Systems & Control Upgrades
We carry out inspection, repair, and refurbishment of electrical, mechanical, and steering systems to improve reliability and safety. This includes electrical rewiring, fault finding, battery and switchgear upgrades, steering system repairs, and control improvements. All work is completed with marine-grade components and practical use in mind.
Collar & Tube Refurbishment
Inspection and refurbishment of tubes and collars to extend service life where a full retube is not required. This includes leak detection, seam repairs, patching, valve replacement, and fitting upgrades. All collar work is carried out using compatible materials and proven bonding methods for long-term durability.
F.A.Q.
A refit can include electrical, mechanical, and steering upgrades, structural and deck repairs, fibreglass work, and collar or tube refurbishment. Work is tailored to the condition of the boat and how it’s used.
If systems are unreliable, layouts no longer suit your use, or there is visible wear to decks, structure, or fittings, a refit can restore safety, usability, and reliability without replacing the boat.
