100-hour & seasonal service

South Florida boats do not get winters off — they run year-round, which means service intervals come up on hours, not seasons. The 100-hour service is the backbone of keeping a marine engine alive down here, and skipping it is how four-figure repair bills get born.

What a proper 100-hour service includes

Engine oil and filter, gearcase oil, fuel filters and water separators, spark plugs where due, water pump impeller inspection or replacement, anodes, greasing every fitting the manufacturer lists, battery and connection check, and a run under load afterward to confirm everything is right. We log what was done so the next service builds on it — and so you have records that hold up resale value.

The South Florida wear items

Three things fail early down here: impellers (heat and sand), anodes (salt water year-round), and anything fuel-related (ethanol plus humidity). These get checked every single time, not every other time.

Storage and hurricane season

Leaving the boat for the summer, or hauling out ahead of a storm? We prep boats for storage properly — fuel stabilized, engine fogged where appropriate, batteries managed, and everything documented so recommissioning is a checklist rather than a diagnosis session.

One call books it, and for most boats the whole service happens at your dock or driveway anywhere in Broward County — Coral Springs, Margate, Coconut Creek, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and beyond.
