Specialized Marine Mechanical Tool Rentals
Cruising through French Polynesia means you shouldn't have to purchase and carry heavy, single-purpose diagnostic tools that you only use once every few years. Rent professional gear locally in Tahiti for your maintenance and repower projects.
Shaft Alignment Dial Indicator & Magnetic Base Kit
Precision dial calipers and 0.01mm dial indicator with articulating magnetic clamping base. Essential for achieving exact engine-to-shaft alignment tolerances (within 0.004" / 0.10mm) to eliminate cutless bearing wear, vibration, and transmission stress.
- •Engine-to-coupling face and rim alignment
- •Propeller shaft runout and deflection measurement
- •Flange parallelism and concentricity checks
Torque Wrenches Set (1/4", 3/8", 1/2" Drive)
Professional mechanical torque wrenches spanning low-torque injector clamps up to heavy cylinder head, flywheel, and propeller nut torque specifications.
- •Cylinder head and main bearing torquing
- •Flywheel and drive plate bolt tensioning
- •Injector clamp and manifold studs
Marine Diesel Compression Tester Kit
High-pressure diesel compression gauge (up to 1,000 PSI / 70 Bar) equipped with quick-release dummy glow plug and injector adaptors suitable for Kubota, Yanmar, Volvo Penta, and Perkins blocks.
- •Cylinder health and ring seal diagnosis
- •Pre-purchase engine assessment
- •Hard-starting and blow-by troubleshooting
Optical Laser Tachometer / RPM Meter
Digital non-contact optical laser tachometer for pinpoint measurement of crankshaft and alternator pulleys using reflective tape. Crucial for alternator regulator setup and cockpit tachometer calibration.
- •Engine idle and maximum governor limit verification
- •Tachometer sender calibration on instrument panels
- •Pulley speed ratio calculation for high-amp alternators
True-RMS AC/DC Clamp Amp Meter
Heavy-duty Hall-effect clamp meter capable of reading up to 600A DC directly over thick battery cables without breaking the circuit. Indispensable for LiFePO4 charging audits.
- •High-output alternator current verification
- •Starter motor cranking current draw tests
- •Lithium battery bank charge/discharge current validation
Mechanical Oil Pressure Test Gauge Kit
Direct-reading mechanical oil pressure gauge with high-pressure braided hose and metric thread adapters (BSPT, NPT, Metric) to test actual galley pressure directly at the block sender.
- •Verifying low oil pressure alarms vs. bad electrical senders
- •Cold idle and hot cruise pressure confirmation
- •Oil relief valve operation inspection
Precision Micrometer & Vernier Measurement Set
Inside and outside micrometers with depth gauges for exacting dimensional measurements of rotating shafts, bearings, and machined mating surfaces.
- •Propeller shaft diameter and wear groove inspection
- •Cutless bearing clearance measurement
- •Valve stem and guide tolerance verification
Bearing Pullers (Mechanical & Reversible 2/3-Jaw)
Heavy-duty bearing extractors designed to safely remove press-fit bearings, gearbox bearings, and alternator drive pulleys without distorting housings or shafts.
- •Alternator and water pump bearing extraction
- •Damper pulley and gear removal
- •Shaft collar and seal housing disassembly
Heavy-Duty Propeller & Shaft Flange Pullers
Robust marine propeller pullers for inboard shafts and saildrive splines. Pops stubborn taper-fit propellers cleanly without heat damage to cutless bearings or shaft seals.
- •Taper-shaft inboard propeller removal (2, 3, and 4 blade)
- •Transmission output flange extraction
- •Emergency propeller replacement on the hard or underwater
