Boat Engine or outboard motor Problems? We Fix Them for You!
Overheating of outboard motor:
Overheating is a frequent issue, especially during extended use or in hot weather. It often results from inadequate cooling, blockages, or faulty components. Proper ventilation and cooling are vital to prevent overheating. We conduct a comprehensive inspection of your engine’s cooling system, checking for blockages, leaks, or malfunctions. Ensuring the cooling water intake is clear and the impeller is functioning properly is crucial. We also examine the water pump, thermostat, hoses, and radiator to ensure all components are in good working order. If you notice a weak or inconsistent water stream from your engine, it could indicate impeller wear or damage, which can lead to severe overheating and potential engine failure. Contact us immediately to address these critical issues.
Engine Starting Problems:
Experiencing trouble starting your boat engine can be incredibly frustrating and is commonly linked to issues with the fuel system, ignition system, or battery. Our team will meticulously examine each potential problem area. This includes checking fuel lines for blockages or leaks, inspecting spark plugs for fouling or wear, and verifying proper gap settings. Additionally, we assess ignition system components such as the ignition coil, distributor, and spark plug wires for any signs of damage or malfunction. Ensuring a reliable start every time is our priority. For more details see marine electrical service.
Power Loss:
A drop in power or acceleration can stem from various issues. Diagnosing this involves a thorough inspection of the fuel system, engine tuning, and propeller condition. Whether it's a clogged fuel filter, malfunctioning carburetor or fuel injectors, or improper ignition timing and carburetor settings, we identify the root cause and restore your engine's performance. Our goal is to ensure your boat runs smoothly and efficiently, providing you with the power you need for a great time on the water.
Noise and Vibration:
Unusual noises or vibrations from your engine should be promptly addressed to prevent further damage. These symptoms often indicate problems like worn bearings, loose components, or misaligned drive shafts. We perform a detailed inspection of your engine while it’s running to accurately locate the source of the noise or vibration. Early detection and correction of these issues can save you from more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
Electrical Issues:
Electrical problems can be a significant barrier to enjoying your time on the water. We thoroughly inspect your boat's battery and electrical connections for any signs of corrosion, loose connections, or other issues. A weak or faulty battery can impede engine starting and overall electrical system performance. We ensure battery terminals are clean and securely connected, preventing electrical issues while underway. Remember to turn off the main electrical switch after each use, as onboard electrical appliances can drain your battery quickly if left on without charging.

Are outboard motor props interchangeable?
Need Help? - Call!Unfortunatly, outboard motor propellers are not universally interchangeable - this would be too easy. But there is some degree of compatibility depending on various factors. Here are the main considerations:
- Shaft Size and Spline Count: Different outboard motors have different shaft diameters and spline counts. These need to match between the propeller and the motor.
- Engine Power and Size: Propellers are designed for specific horsepower ranges. A propeller for a 50 HP motor may not be suitable for a 150 HP motor, even if the spline count matches.
- Manufacturer and Model: Different manufacturers may have proprietary designs. Props made for Yamaha outboards might not fit Mercury outboards without an adapter.
- Hub Kit Compatibility: Some modern propellers use a hub kit system that allows one propeller to fit multiple motor types by changing the hub kit.
- Pitch and Diameter: The pitch and diameter of the propeller need to be suitable for the boat and motor combination to ensure optimal performance.
