What Our Customers Say

“My outboard died the morning of a fishing trip and these guys were at the dock within two hours. Diagnosed a fuel pump issue on the spot and had me running before noon. Couldn't ask for faster service.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a marine mechanic do on-site at a marina?

An on-site marine mechanic performs the same diagnostics and repairs you'd expect at a traditional shop — engine service, electrical troubleshooting, fiberglass work, and more — but at your dock or boat ramp. Wilmington Marine Mechanic brings the tools and parts needed to handle most jobs without you ever moving the vessel.

How often should I have my boat engine serviced?

For most recreational boats in saltwater environments like Wrightsville Beach, an annual engine service is the minimum recommended interval. High-usage vessels or those exposed to heavy salt spray may benefit from a mid-season check as well. Regular service catches small issues before they become costly breakdowns.

Can you work on both outboard and inboard engines?

Yes — our technicians are experienced with all major outboard and inboard engine brands. Whether you run a small center-console with a single outboard or a larger cruiser with an inboard diesel, we have the training and equipment to service it correctly.

What should I do if my boat breaks down at the ramp or on the water near Wrightsville Beach?

Call (910) 784-5202 and give us your location. We'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible to assess the situation on-site. For breakdowns on the water, make sure you're safely anchored or secured before calling, and let us know if you need us to coordinate with a towing service.
