Regular oil and filter changes are the foundation of any solid boat maintenance plan. Our mechanics drain old oil, replace the filter, and refill with the correct grade for your engine make and model. Skipping this service accelerates wear on internal components and shortens engine life.

Common Signs You Need Service
Catching small issues before they become big repairs saves money and keeps you off the sidelines during Jacksonville's peak boating season — and with year-round access to local waterways, there's never a good time to be sidelined.
Engine Running Rough:
Missing, surging, or hard-to-start engines often signal fouled plugs, a dirty fuel filter, or carburetor buildup. Address it early before it strands you mid-river.
Overheating Alarm:
A rising temp gauge or overheating alarm usually points to a worn impeller or blocked cooling passage. Running hot even briefly can cause severe engine damage.
Corroded or Dim Electrics:
Flickering navigation lights or a slow-cranking starter suggest corroded terminals or a weak battery. Salt air accelerates this and it worsens fast if ignored.
Trailer Wobble or Noise:
Grinding or wobbling while towing often means worn wheel bearings. Bearing failure at highway speed can cause serious accidents and damage your hull.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule boat maintenance?
Most manufacturers recommend a full service at least once a year or every 100 engine hours — whichever comes first. In Jacksonville's year-round boating climate, many active boaters benefit from a mid-season check as well to catch wear before it becomes a breakdown.
Is there a mobile boat service near me in Jacksonville?
Yes — Run & Gun covers all of Jacksonville and the surrounding First Coast communities, from Fernandina Beach down to St. Augustine and west to Middleburg and Green Cove Springs. We bring tools, parts, and expertise directly to your dock, slip, or ramp so you never have to haul your boat to a shop.
What does boat repair and service typically cost?
Cost varies depending on the services needed — a basic oil and filter change is straightforward, while a full tune-up including impeller, plugs, and fuel filter will be more involved. We provide a free quote before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
What's included in a marine maintenance near me visit from Run & Gun?
A standard visit covers the services you've requested plus a general walk-around inspection of your engine, electrical connections, bilge, and trailer if present. We flag anything that looks like it needs attention and discuss options with you before proceeding — no upselling, just honest recommendations.
Can you handle both boat service and repair on the same visit?
Absolutely. If we arrive for a scheduled maintenance appointment and find a repair issue — a cracked fuel line, a faulty bilge pump, or a corroded connection — we handle it on the spot whenever we have the parts on hand. One visit, one less trip to worry about.
