Marine Electrical ABYC Licensed
Electrical problems are the most common — and most frustrating — issue boat owners face. We specialize in diagnosing and repairing 12V DC systems including batteries and charging, bilge pumps, navigation and cabin lighting, galvanic isolation, solar installations, switches, fuses, and wiring. We also handle marine electronics: VHF/antenna installation, GPS, AIS, NMEA 2000 networking, autopilot, and stereo systems.
Engine & Mechanical
Keep your diesel or outboard running right. We perform inboard engine maintenance (oil, coolant, belts, fuel filters, impellers), outboard service including fuel system repair, descaling, trim/tilt, and lower units, as well as steering system service. Regular engine maintenance is the single best investment you can make in your vessel's reliability.
