Boat and Marine Engine
Service and Sales
Our Service Department does everything from fiberglass work to engine repowers. Located in a large covered building next door, we can house several full size boats with full security and out of the weather.
View the services provided below, and contact us if you have any questions or to set up an appointment. Ask for Steve Welch, the service manager.
Tune Ups
Our skilled mechanics perform engine tune ups on-site, usually in just a few hours (with appointment).
PSS Shaft Seals
For leaking and frustrating prop shaft stuffing boxes, we are experts at installing PSS Dripless Shaft Seals, which are a maintenance-free replacement for the stuffing box. For powerboat and sailboat drivetrains. See the PSS website for information and testimonials.
Bottom Painting
Our trained professionals clean, resurface, recondition, and repaint boat bottoms. We use every major brand of paint, including Interlux, Bluewater, Pettit, and more. We carry Bluewater and Interlux in the store, and can order in any other major brand in less than a few business days.
Pricing for bottom painting varies by boat size and the amount of sanding and other work needed. We cannot give an exact quote for pricing until we see the boat bottom and its condition, and know what kind of paint will be used. You can use the chart below as a rough guide for bottom painting costs, assuming there is no heavy sanding required and no special paints or coatings are needed (certain paints may increase costs as they are more expensive!). Prices are not for complete paint stripping.
ESTIMATED Bottom Paint Cost:
| Size | Powerboat | Sailboat |
|---|---|---|
| 10-20ft | $500~ | $550~ |
| 21-25ft | $600~ | $650~ |

Prop Service
We install, remove, inspect, and sell boat propellers, as well as repair and service used and damaged ones. Need help deciding what size or pitch prop you need? Changing transmissions or repowering? We can help decide on the perfect size and type of prop based on your specific engine and transmission specifications, to give you the best fuel efficiency and engine performance.
Winterization
During winter the water in your boat's engine coolant, exhaust system, and plumbing can freeze and expand. This sometimes causes cracks in the casting of engine parts and other areas. It is important for this reason to properly winterize your boat every winter. Our mechanics specialize in winterizing and will go through your boat to make sure it doesn't get damaged during the winter, whether you keep it moored in the water or on a trailer.
Repowers
We install new gasoline and diesel engines from MerCruiser, Crusader, Cummins, Northern Lights, PCM, and more. Increase fuel efficiency, power and reliability by repowering to the latest engine models. We also rebuild and service old engines, and replace manifolds, risers, and exhaust systems.
Electronics & GPS
We specialize in electronics installations, service, and sales. Our technicians can install GPS, Depth Sounders, Radar, Radio, and more onto your boat. We stock a wide variety of Garmin electronics, and can special order in many of the latest products from every major manufacturer. Our technicians use the highest quality wiring and connections, to ensure a long lasting installation that withstands the rigors of saltwater boating.
