Boat Repair Arlington

Arlington — On the St. Johns, Right in Jacksonville

Arlington sits on the east bank of the St. Johns River, directly across from downtown Jacksonville, with the Matthews Bridge serving as the main connection between the two sides. Boaters here reach the water through a backyard dock, a private boat lift, or one of two public ramps: the Arlington Road Public Boat Ramp, a two-lane concrete ramp with a fee station near the Matthews Bridge, and the Arlington Lions Club Park ramp, also two-lane concrete and free to use, with parking available. The St. Johns here runs brackish to salt, which changes what maintenance looks like in practice. Anodes wear faster, fittings corrode, and motors take a steady beating from the water chemistry. That means corrosion checks on Mercury, Honda Marine, MerCruiser, and Johnson outboards and sterndrives are a regular part of any service call, not an afterthought. The mix of bay boats, center consoles, fishing skiffs, and the occasional cruiser reflects what this stretch of river gets used for. Access to a job comes through a dock, a driveway, a marina slip, or a boat lift — whatever the property allows. Run & Gun handles everything from outboard repair and inboard repair work to electrical service troubleshooting and marine diagnostic services right at your slip or driveway. If your hull took a knock, our fiberglass repair service has you covered too. Boat repair in Arlington is what we do on a regular basis, and our mechanics know the local ramps, marinas, and waterways well enough to give you advice that actually fits your situation — not a generic quote from someone who's never been on the St. Johns. Flexible scheduling means we can work around your weekday commute or your weekend plans, and guaranteed quality craftsmanship means the job is done right the first time.
