CALL [PHONE]

Calling is fastest, and a lot gets sorted on the phone before anyone drives anywhere. If it's easier to type, the form below works too.

SAME-DAY / NEXT-DAY response · Licensed & insured · Serving Columbia County both sides of the river

Boat broken right now?

Call PHONE. If we can get to you today, we'll say so; if we can't, we'll say that instead of booking you and hoping.

If the boat is drifting or somewhere hazardous, call a tow first — BoatUS / Sea Tow / marine assistance — and get it to a dock or ramp. We'll meet it there.

SEND

Two things that speed this up enormously

1. Send a photo of the engine model tag.
It's a metal or printed plate — on an outboard, usually under the cowling or on the transom bracket; on an inboard, on the rocker cover or the block. It carries the model and serial number, and with those we can check parts availability and the right service specs before we arrive. One photo often saves a whole visit.

2. Describe what it's doing, not what you think is wrong.
"It cranks but won't fire, and it was fine last weekend" is more useful than "I think it needs a carb." Symptom, when it started, and what changed — that's what narrows it down.

Photos of the actual problem — a leak, corrosion, a damaged skeg or prop, a smoke colour — are worth a lot too.

Not sure what's wrong?

Start with the symptom rather than the repair:

Won't start · Overheating · Won't idle · Losing power · Won't shift · Full diagnostic guide

⚠ Dependency: these six links only work if the symptom tier publishes at the same time as this page or earlier. /fixing-outboard-motors/ and /outboard-overheating/ are in Phase 1.5; the other three are Phase 2.5. Either publish contact alongside Phase 1.5 and link only the two that exist, or strip this block until the tier is complete. See INTERNAL-LINKING.md §3.

What happens next

1. We reply within RESPONSE TIME — and always the same day during the season.
2. A few questions by phone or message to narrow it down.
3. We book a time and tell you the call-out fee upfront. Rates are published.
4. We come to the boat, diagnose, and quote before any work starts.
