Our standard

Three things we never compromise on.

Great repair work is only half the job. The other half is how you're treated from the first message to the moment you're back on the water.

Customer service

You'll always know what's happening with your boat.

Clear updates, a plain-English diagnosis and no work started without your OK. We treat your boat — and your time — like it's our own.

FAQ

Good questions.

Don't see yours? Ask it in the form below.

Which engines do you work on?

We specialize in MerCruiser, Volvo Penta and Indmar — sterndrives and inboards most often found in 18–20 ft runabouts, bowriders and wake boats. Have something else? Ask and we'll tell you straight whether we're the right fit.

Where do you offer mobile service?

Throughout King County, Washington — from Seattle and the Eastside to South King County and the foothills. Tell us where the boat is and we'll confirm.

How do I book a service?

Send the form below or give us a call. Tell us your engine, what's going on and where the boat is, and we'll take it from there.

Will I know the cost before you start?

Yes. After diagnosis we explain what we found and give you an estimate. We don't proceed with repairs until you approve them.

Which jobs can be done mobile?

Many diagnostics, maintenance and seasonal jobs can be done on-site. If a repair needs shop equipment, we'll explain why and plan the shop visit with you.

When should I book winterization?

Early fall is best, before the first hard freeze. Booking early also gives you more choice of dates.
