Our outboard mechanics are experienced with all major brands, including Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Suzuki, and Evinrude. Whether it's a routine tune-up or a complex internal repair, we bring the right diagnostic tools and parts to handle the job on-site.

Yes — every job starts with a thorough diagnosis. Our marine diagnostic services process uses both computerized scanning and hands-on inspection to pinpoint the root cause before any repair work begins. This avoids guesswork and keeps your repair costs accurate.

We work on a wide range of recreational and light commercial watercraft, including center consoles, bay boats, pontoons, cruisers, and personal watercraft. Our technicians handle outboard motor repair, inboard boat repair, diesel engine repair, fiberglass hulls, aluminum hulls, and marine electrical systems.

For the majority of repairs — engine work, electrical troubleshooting, gelcoat patching, and routine maintenance — your boat can stay right where it is. We come to your slip or dock and handle the work in the water, saving you haul-out fees and downtime.

Most minor fiberglass repair jobs — small cracks, gelcoat chips, or stress fractures — are completed in a single visit of two to four hours. Larger structural damage may require a follow-up once filler or gelcoat fully cures. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial assessment so your boat is back on the water as soon as possible.

We handle both. Scheduled boat service — oil changes, impeller replacements, fluid checks, and tune-ups — is a big part of what we do. Regular marine maintenance actually prevents the emergency calls, so we’re happy to set up a seasonal schedule that keeps your vessel running reliably whether you’re heading out for a weekend trip or prepping for offshore season.

We prioritize urgent calls and can often reach your marina or driveway the same day, sometimes within a few hours depending on our schedule. Outboard motors are our most common repair service call, so our trucks are stocked with parts for the most frequent failures. Call us directly with your motor brand and symptoms so we can come prepared to fix it fast.
