Marine engine repair in Seattle

We diagnose and repair inboard, sterndrive and outboard engines at the boat: no-starts, hard starts, rough running, loss of power, warning alarms, ignition and fuel faults. Every visit starts with testing, so you pay for the repair the boat needs rather than parts it does not.

Boat service and repair, near you

Keelmark is a mobile marine mechanic. Instead of hauling the boat to a shop, we come to the marina, the private dock, the driveway or the launch across Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Renton and the rest of Greater Seattle. For most owners it is the quickest way to get boat repair near them.

Overheating and cooling systems

Raw-water pumps, impellers, hoses, thermostats, heat exchangers, risers and exhaust elbows. Overheating is one of the most common problems we see, and shutting down early is what keeps the repair small.

Repaired at the boat

Once the fault is confirmed we explain it plainly, confirm the scope and price, and complete the repair dockside whenever the job can reasonably be done there.

Questions

Before you book.

Do you come to my boat, or do I bring it to a shop?

We come to you. Keelmark is fully mobile: at your slip, in the marina, at a private dock, on a trailer at home or at a launch anywhere in Greater Seattle.

How much does a marine diagnostic cost?

The first hour on board is $150, then $90 for each additional hour. Parts are quoted separately, and we confirm the scope before any work begins.

What kinds of engines do you work on?

Inboard, sterndrive and outboard engines on recreational boats, from weekend cruisers to larger yachts. Include the make and model when you request service.

My boat is overheating. What should I do?

Shut the engine down as soon as it is safe, check the raw-water intake and strainer if you can reach them, and send us a request. If you are stuck at the marina or on the water, use urgent assistance at any hour.
