About Kikkert
A mechanic who works on the engine himself.
Henry Kikkert has been repairing every kind of engine for years: outboard, inboard and sterndrive, petrol and diesel. He also handles electrics on board and installs extras. No call centre, no middlemen — you talk to the man who does the work.
A marine engine should simply start, and keep running. Whatever the conditions.
