#51 Common question asks
What's included in a boat care plan?
-
Our Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans include scheduled checkups at the boat, a photo report after each and no trip fee on any visit. Members get 10%, 15% or 20% off repair labor (by plan) and 10% off parts we install. You join with a full inspection, from $1,500 for a boat up to 25 ft with one engine; plan prices and details are on our boat care plans page. A plan is not insurance or a warranty.

#49 Common question asks
Can you polish and fix fiberglass damage on-site?
-
Yes, for cosmetic work: we repair gelcoat chips and small non-structural fiberglass damage above the waterline and polish the boat at the dock. Structural damage is referred to a boatyard.

#47 Common question asks
How much does a one-time repair cost?
-
Labor is $150 an hour, plus a trip fee by distance for each visit: $75 in Huntington Harbour, $110 in Newport Beach. A diagnosis is at least $300 for each engine and $300 for the electrical system; then you get a written estimate for labor, parts and the trip fee, and nothing is done without your OK. For regular care, see our Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans.

#45 Common question asks
Do I need to haul my boat for service?
-
Usually not. Most engine, electrical, fuel and cooling repairs are done where the boat is kept. Work below the waterline, such as drive, bellows or gimbal bearing jobs and hull damage, needs the boat out of the water; the haul-out is the yard's charge and is listed on your estimate.

-
#43 Common question asks
Can you fix both outboard and inboard engines?
-
Absolutely. We repair outboards, inboards, and sterndrives – diesel or gasoline.

#39 Common question asks
Do you offer a service package for marinas?
-
Our scheduled service is the Basic, Premium and Pro+ boat care plans, which each owner joins for their own boat: checkups at the boat on a schedule, a photo report after each, no trip fee on any visit, 10%, 15% or 20% off repair labor and 10% off parts we install. For other work we plan the visits with you, and each owner gets a written estimate before anything is done.

#37 Common question asks
Can you service boats directly in the marina without haul-out?
-
Many jobs, yes: most engine, electrical, fuel and cooling work is done at the slip. Work below the waterline, such as sterndrive, bellows or gimbal bearing service, needs the boat out of the water, so it is done at a boatyard and the yard's haul-out charge is listed on your estimate.

-
#35 Common question asks
Can you look after several boats for one company?
-
Yes. Send us the list of boats, where each one is kept and the engine types, and we plan the visits with you. Each job gets a written estimate before work starts; labor is $150 an hour plus the trip fee for work at the boat.
