Proudly Serving Jacksonville, Lakeside, Orange Park, Beauclerc, Mandarin, and Miramar

When your boat engine isn't performing as it should, it can turn a perfect day on the water into a frustrating experience. Whether your engine won't start, is overheating, or you're noticing unusual noises, we're here to help diagnose and fix the problem efficiently. Here's how we address common boat motor issues

Starting Difficulties

An engine that refuses to start is a common issue that can stem from several sources, such as the fuel system, ignition system, or battery. Our comprehensive outboard motor repair includes:

Fuel System Check: We inspect fuel lines for blockages or leaks that could hinder fuel flow.
Ignition System Inspection: Spark plugs are examined for wear and proper gap settings. We also assess components like the coil, distributor, and spark plug wires for any signs of damage.
Battery Evaluation: Ensuring your battery is fully charged and the terminals are clean and secure is essential for reliable engine starting.

Overheating Concerns

Engine overheating can cause significant damage if not addressed promptly. Common causes include insufficient cooling, blockages, or malfunctioning components. Our process involves:

Cooling System Analysis: We meticulously check for obstructions, leaks, and malfunctions in the cooling system, including the water intake and impeller.
Component Examination: The water pump, thermostat, hoses, and radiator are inspected for wear or damage.
Impeller Assessment: A weak or inconsistent water stream from your engine may indicate impeller wear or damage, leading to overheating and potential engine failure. If you notice this issue, please contact us immediately.

Power Loss

Experiencing a loss of power or acceleration can be concerning and may result from:

Fuel System Issues: We replace clogged fuel filters and service faulty carburetors or fuel injectors to ensure optimal fuel delivery.
Engine Tuning: Adjustments to ignition timing and overall engine tuning can restore performance.
Propeller Inspection: We examine the propeller for damage or wear that could affect propulsion efficiency.

Running Diagnostics: Our team conducts tests while the engine is running to accurately locate and address the source of the issue.

Battery and Electrical Issues

Electrical problems can hinder engine performance and the operation of onboard systems. Our services include:

Battery Inspection: We check for corrosion, test battery strength, and ensure it's holding a charge.
Electrical Connections: Cleaning and securing all electrical connections prevents power loss and starting issues.
Preventative Advice: We recommend turning off the main electrical switch after each use to prevent battery drain from devices.
