Marine Repair & Maintenance
Having engine trouble or need maintenance?
Delivering Peace of Mind Right to Your Dock
Outboard motors are the heart of the boat and to keep them running smooth, regular maintenance is recommended and advised. Different brands require different set of skills that only an experienced technician should be used to guarantee the motor will be repaired or maintained according to the manufacturer specs.
Outboard motors require much more attention during repair and maintenance than an automobile motor. It’s subject to harsh conditions of saltwater or swamp chemicals and it can take its toll on mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems that can lead to catastrophic failures.

Maintenance of your steering system should be completed at least twice per year to keep it in working order and ensure smooth, safe operation. Corrosion of the steering cable can cause stiff movements, seizure, and even total loss of steering control.Grease and lubrication services
Protection against rust and corrosion along with fuel dilution is a number one priority for maintaining a healthy motor. Marine motors are constantly under load so keeping your motor lubricated and greased correctly will prevent catastrophic failures and should be added to your regularly engine check-up.Spark plug changes
Spark plugs play a major role in starting your motor. Checking/testing your spark plugs every 100 hours is necessary to ensure your motor starts, as well as, replacing them every 300 hours.Impeller maintenance
Abrasive sandlike material can cause the impeller to wear out faster. Impellers can also wear out by becoming stiff and brittle due to the motor sitting unused for several seasons or being exposed to heat. Regular maintenance can prevent permanent damage and avoid expensive costs of replacement.Fuel filter replacements
Changing the fuel filter in your regularly scheduled maintenance can help eliminate performance issues and prevent major problems down the road. Regularly scheduled maintenance calls for changing the fuel filter every 100 hours.
