FAQs

How does your fuel tank polishing service work?

We use a specialized mobile fuel polishing machine to circulate and filter the gas or diesel in your tank. This process removes water, sludge, and contaminants to prevent engine failure and improve overall fuel efficiency.

What method do you use for bottom paint removal?

We utilize a dustless media blasting system with recycled crushed glass and water to strip old paint. This eco friendly method protects the underlying gel coat and prevents harmful dust from spreading around your property or marina.

Do you offer mobile services for boat maintenance?

Yes, we provide mobile bottom paint removal and fuel tank cleaning at your location. We frequently service clients at their home driveways or local marinas throughout Maryland, Delaware, and parts of Pennsylvania.

Can you handle structural fiberglass and gel coat repairs?

In addition to engine repairs, we specialize in high quality fiberglass and gel coat restoration. This includes fixing collision damage, stress cracks, and structural issues to return your hull to its original condition.

What is included in your winterization and storage service?

Our winterization process involves flushing the engine cooling system with antifreeze, stabilizing the fuel, and protecting internal components from corrosion. We also offer shrink wrapping and secure storage in our North East boat yard.

Pricing for major repairs like repowering or engine rebuilding is based on the specific horsepower requirements and the current condition of the vessel. We provide detailed estimates after an initial inspection to ensure an accurate quote for labor and parts.
