Engine & Propulsion Services

The “heart” of your vessel requires precision mechanical attention to ensure offshore reliability, passenger safety, and peak performance.

Don’t let a $20 belt ruin a $2,000 weekend.

Precision Routine Maintenance (100-Hour/Annual):

Comprehensive oil and filter changes using premium marine-grade lubricants.

Spark plug replacement and ignition system testing to ensure “first-turn” starting.

Full multi-point inspection of drive belts, pulleys, and high-pressure hoses to prevent mid-season failures.

Keep your engine running cool, even in the peak of summer.

Advanced Cooling System Care:

Inspection and replacement of water pump impellers to prevent engine overheating.

Full descaling of heat exchangers and raw water strainers to restore optimal flow.

Freshwater flushing and corrosion-inhibitor treatments for engines kept in salt water.

Restore the "out-of-the-box" throttle response and save on fuel costs.

Fuel System Integrity & Performance:

Replacement of fuel-water separators and inline filters to protect against “bad gas” and ethanol damage.

Vapor separator tank (VST) cleaning and fuel line pressure testing.

 

Protect your transmission and lower unit—the most vulnerable parts of your boat’s drivetrain.

Drive Train & Lower Unit Specialization:

Gearcase lubricant changes and pressure/vacuum testing to check for seal leaks.

Propeller shaft greasing and spline inspection to prevent “frozen” props.

Propeller repair and re-pitching for better “hole-shot” or top-end speed.

Gimbal bearing and U-joint lubrication for sterndrive models.

Get a "new boat" feel and a fresh warranty for a fraction of the cost of a new vessel.

Engine Repowering & Precision Rebuilds:

Full-service removal and replacement of aging or inefficient engines with modern, fuel-efficient powerplants.

Complete internal engine overhauls for high-hour blocks, including boring, honing, and new internal components.

We find the "ghost" problems before they become dock-side nightmares.

Computerized Engine Diagnostics:

Advanced software scanning for Mercury, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, and more.
