A factory-authorized technician arrives at your location with the tools and parts needed for your repair or installation. We perform diagnostics, provide an upfront estimate, complete the work on-site, and walk you through the results. Most routine services and many repairs can be handled in a single visit.
Availability varies, but we do our best to accommodate urgent situations—especially if your boat is disabled or you're preparing for a planned outing. Contact us as soon as possible, and we'll let you know if a same-day or next-day visit is available.
Outboards generally require regular oil changes, water pump service, gear lube, fuel filter replacements, spark plug changes, and periodic inspection of electrical and cooling components. Following the manufacturer's recommended service schedule—and addressing issues early—helps extend engine life and prevent costly breakdowns. We can maintain your outboard annually or seasonally, depending on how often you use your boat.
We provide upfront pricing after our on-site diagnostic. There's a service call fee that covers the technician's visit and initial assessment, which is applied toward the repair if you proceed. We'll always give you a clear estimate before starting any work.
We accept cash, check, all major credit cards, and digital payments. Payment is due upon completion of service.
