Troy, outboard owner in Huntington Harbour asks
Can saltwater damage marine ignition components?
- 
                            
Yes – saltwater corrosion is a major cause of ignition failure. We use dielectric sealant and corrosion-resistant terminals to protect connections and prevent future problems.

Ryan, wake boat owner in San Pedro asks
Can a bad ignition coil cause poor acceleration or rough idle?
- 
                            
Absolutely. A weak coil or cracked plug wire can cause misfires, reduced throttle response, and rough engine operation. We test voltage output and replace worn components with marine-rated parts.

Jason, center console owner in Newport Beach asks
What are signs of a bad marine ignition system?
- 
                            
Hard starting, no spark, misfiring, or sudden engine shut-offs are all signs of ignition problems. We run full diagnostics on coils, ignition modules, spark plugs, and wiring to pinpoint the failure.

Leo, wake boat owner in Cabrillo Marina asks
Is paint repair done at the dock or do I need to haul out the boat?
- 
                            
Many touch-ups and side repairs can be done dockside. For major restoration or full repaint, we recommend haul-out. We’ll advise based on the location and extent of the damage.

Can you fix dock rash and scuffs along the hull sides?
-
