Fast, reliable repairs for outboard and inboard engines
We deliver professional diagnostic services, component repairs, and preventive maintenance designed specifically for small craft and recreational vessels. Our technicians combine hands-on experience with modern diagnostic tools to identify underlying problems quickly, offer transparent repair plans, and return boats to safe service with minimal delay. Mobile response and workshop appointments available at Berry Springs and surrounding waterways.
Why local skippers choose our workshop
Our approach blends rapid diagnostics with long-term reliability. Technicians perform layered checks — from electrical systems and fuel delivery to cooling circuits and propeller integrity. Each repair begins with a clear inspection report and a no-surprise estimate. We use OEM-graded parts when possible, provide labor warranties, and follow up with care recommendations to extend engine life. Whether it’s seasonal servicing or an urgent outboard rebuild, the emphasis is on durability, safety, and honest service.

About the team
Our workshop was founded by a group of sailors and mechanical specialists who grew up around small boats and waterways. Practical knowledge matters: we understand how saltwater, humidity, and seasonal storage affect performance. That background informs every repair and recommendation. We combine preventative guidance with meticulous repairs so owners experience reliable operation and longer intervals between services.
We support recreational boaters, fishing operators, and community fleets. From carbureted outboards to modern fuel-injected units and sterndrives, our scope covers mechanical, electrical, and cooling system work. Safety checks include fluid analysis, compression testing, and propeller balance — each reported transparently. Our goal: return your vessel to the water confident and seaworthy.

Core offerings & maintenance programs
Our service menu covers routine maintenance, complex overhauls, and specialized diagnostics. We provide seasonal tune-ups, full engine rebuilds, prop repairs, electrical fault tracing, fuel system restoration, cooling system flushing, and hull-side troubleshooting. Beyond repairs, we deliver preventive schedules tailored for each engine type, winterisation and commissioning, and pre-purchase inspections for buyers who want confidence.
Custom intervals based on hours, storage conditions, and salt exposure. Includes fluid checks, filters, and small parts replacement.
Battery testing, alternator checks, starter systems, ignition timing, and CAN-bus diagnostics for modern units.
Cylinder work, head repairs, crankshaft services, and full drive unit overhauls with documented parts lists.
Detailed approach to marine engine care
We place equal emphasis on problem resolution and on preventing future failures. Every service starts with a systematic intake checklist that captures operating hours, observed symptoms, recent incidents, and any modifications to the installation. Our technicians follow this with multi-point testing: compression and leak-down measurements, fuel pressure and injector flow verification for EFI systems, thermostat and water pump performance for cooling circuits, and isolation testing for charging systems. We log findings and photographs so owners receive a transparent narrative of condition, recommended interventions, and estimated costs.
In addition to mechanical repairs we address corrosion control and sacrificial anode management, which are often overlooked but essential for longevity in marine environments. We evaluate anode integrity, electrical bonding, and verify that sacrificial protection is correctly sized for the vessel and local water chemistry. Our preventive recommendations often extend service life more than any single repair because they mitigate slow, cumulative damage that leads to expensive breakdowns.
For vessel owners who travel, we offer a mobile responsiveness plan: scheduled road visits or on-water support that reduces the need to trailer a craft to the workshop. Mobile work includes emergency fuel/air bleed, temporary cooling repairs to allow safe transit, and minor electrical fixes. When a full repair is necessary we can arrange secure transport or coordinate with local marinas for haul-out and workshop delivery.
We also assist owners with compliance and documentation: emissions updates, equipment lists for insurance, and recorded maintenance logs that support resale valuations. Our pre-purchase inspection service provides buyers with a condition report that helps negotiate price and avoid expensive surprises. Every report lists immediate issues, medium-term recommendations, and an estimated budget to address each item.
