Laura, cruiser owner from Long Beach asks
What are the signs of a failing fuel pump on a boat?
- 
                            
Engine sputtering, difficulty starting, sudden shutdowns, or lack of power under load are common symptoms. If your engine stalls after running for a few minutes, your fuel pump may be failing or clogged.

Nick, boat owner from Marina del Rey asks
What causes stiff or jammed marine controls?
- 
                            
Corroded or kinked cables, dried-out lubrication, misaligned shift linkages, or worn control handles are the most common causes. Heat and salt exposure can accelerate wear. Regular service prevents failure.

Melissa, sailboat owner in Wilmington asks
Can you adjust or realign my shifting system on-site?
- 
                            
Absolutely. We adjust cable tension, lubricate control points, and realign the system to ensure proper gear engagement. Many shift issues can be resolved during a same-day service visit.

Paul, fishing boat owner from San Pedro asks
How do I know if my shifter cable needs replacement?
- 
                            
If you feel stiffness, delay in throttle response, difficulty shifting into gear, or the handle moves but nothing engages – it’s likely a stretched, corroded, or failing cable. We can diagnose it dockside.
