Troubleshooting

Diagnostics & Fuel Systems

Most of the cost of a repair is figuring out what’s wrong. Customers come back because Marty finds the actual cause, whether it’s dirty injectors, a tired starter or a fuel system problem, instead of throwing parts at it.

  • Fuel system inspection and repair
  • Fuel injector cleaning
  • Starter and charging diagnosis
  • Hard starting, stalling and rough idle

Electrical, Batteries & Rewiring

Corroded connections and tangled add-on wiring cause more breakdowns than anything else on a boat. We install clean battery banks and onboard chargers, sort out bad wiring and do complete rewires.

  • Full boat rewiring
  • Battery bank installs and upgrades
  • Onboard battery chargers
  • Trolling motor battery systems

A new display or sound system is only as good as the install. We mount, wire and set up chartplotters, fish finders and marine audio so they work and look factory.

  • Chartplotter and fish finder installs
  • Transducer mounting
  • Marine stereo, speakers and LED lighting
  • Helm and dash rewiring for new electronics
