Project description
Every visit starts with a full engine diagnostic: compression check, spark and ignition timing, carburetor or EFI sensor readings, and a listen for unusual knocking or overheating patterns. If the hull was flooded, cranks but won't start, or bogs down at speed, the diagnostic pinpoints the exact cause before any parts are touched, so you are never paying to guess.
The jet pump and impeller get hands-on attention — the housing is pulled, the impeller inspected for chipped or worn vanes, wear rings are measured, and the driveshaft is checked for play and corrosion. A worn impeller is one of the most common causes of lost thrust and overheating, and replacing it on-site restores full power without a trailer trip.
Fuel system work covers draining stale or ethanol-damaged fuel, cleaning or replacing filters, clearing clogged injectors or carburetor jets, and flushing the tank of varnish and sediment that build up over an off-season. For units heading into storage, a full winterization is performed: fogging the engine, stabilizing remaining fuel, flushing the cooling system with fresh water, greasing fittings, and disconnecting the battery for safe off-season storage.
Most routine visits — diagnostics, impeller swap, fuel cleaning, or winterization — are completed in a single appointment, typically within two to four hours depending on what the inspection uncovers. Parts are sourced in advance whenever possible so the whole job wraps up in one visit instead of a return trip.
