What does the boat need?
Every door has two handles: How it works says what we actually do, and Book opens the form already set for it.
1Every fall
2Hours or yearsYamaha scheduled maintenance
The 100-hour annual, plugs and anodes at two years, the VST, the water pump at three, the timing belt at five — Yamaha's schedule, done by Yamaha's own tooling.
3Diagnosis & repairSomething's wrong
Won't start, runs rough, an alarm, a leak, a light that's out. Tell us what it does and when, and we diagnose it with Yamaha's software before anybody guesses.
4Rigged hereElectronics & Helm Master EX
Sounders, radar, autopilot, stereo, Starlink, trolling motors — and Yamaha's Helm Master EX, all four levels, rigged and calibrated so the helm talks to itself.
5We come to youMobile service
Some jobs don't need a boat on a trailer. The van comes to your slip, your lift or your driveway, from the Delaware beaches down through Ocean City.
6Every springSpring commissioning
Batteries, fuel, water systems back on, the first start on our hose and not at the ramp. Book it in March and the boat is in the water the week you want it.
Yamaha's schedule
Know the interval? Go straight to it.
Hours or calendar, whichever arrives first — on this coast it is almost always the calendar. Each one has its own page: what the job involves and why each step is there.

Not sure what yours is due? Tell the planner the engine and the hours and it lines up the schedule for that one engine, bookable in a tap.
Who does the work
The dealership is the easy half
Anybody can sell you a boat. The question worth asking is who picks up the phone in July when it won't start with the family already on the dock.

- Yamaha's own diagnostic software on every job — what the engine says, not what we'd guess

Something's wrong?
What it’s doing, and what we usually find
Each one explained with photographs off our own bench — what it means, how long you have, and what it takes to put right. Then tell us what yours is doing and we diagnose it before anybody guesses.

Mobile service
When the van comes to you
A hundred-hour service, a no-start, a plug change, an electronics fault, a pre-season check — anything that can be done with the boat in the water gets done at your slip, your lift or your driveway. You book it like any other job and say where the boat is.
What stays a shop job: anything that takes the lower unit off (the water pump, a seal), bottom paint, and winterization with wrap or storage. The writer tells you which on the confirmation call, so nobody drives out to a job that cannot be done there.
We run from the Delaware beaches down through Ocean City — Bethany is about 20 minutes from the shop, Ocean City about 25. Where we go →
How it works
From the form to the dock
The same form the counter uses, so your job lands on the board the moment you press send — and nothing is touched until you have approved the price.
- You bookTwo minutes online. A winterization picks a real date; a repair says what it is doing and when.
- We call youA service writer confirms the boat, the date and the price. The repair order is the quote — there is no second document.
- The boat comes inYou drop it off, we haul it from a ramp, or we collect it from your slip or driveway.
- Done, billed, homeEach line checked off by the technician who did it. The bill and a pick-up date by email.

Straight answers
Questions we get every week
Do you only service Yamaha outboards?
Yamaha is the specialty — five certified technicians, one of them a Master Tech, and Yamaha's Pro Elite rating — but we service the whole boat: electronics, gel coat, bottom paint, detailing, trailers and transport.
Do you offer mobile boat service?
Yes. Some jobs don't need a boat on a trailer — the van comes to your slip, lift or driveway, from the Delaware beaches down through Ocean City.
Can you pick my boat up?
We run our own trucks and trailers. Meet us at a ramp anywhere from Lewes to the Ocean City commercial harbor, or we'll collect the boat from your place.
When should I book winterization?
Early. The calendar fills from September, and the online form books real dates with a limited number of boats per day — when a date is full, it's gone.
How do I book service?
The online form takes about two minutes, or call (302) 436-1737 and talk to a person.
