Why Our Boat Service Stands Out

At Erwin Marine Sales, boat service isn’t just a department, it’s a promise. From our skilled technicians to our industry-leading diagnostics, every aspect of your service experience is designed for excellence. We work on all major boat brands, including Sea Ray, Cobalt, Harris, Cruiser Yachts, Malibu, and Axis.

Our certified technicians use the latest tools and OEM-approved procedures to ensure your boat is serviced to factory standards. Every repair, inspection, and tune-up is performed with meticulous attention to detail. In addition to our technical expertise, we pride ourselves on customer service—providing timely updates, honest assessments, and friendly support from the moment you check in to the moment your boat is back in the water.

We treat your investment with the same care we’d give our own. From scheduling to final walkthrough, we aim to build trust with every client, turning first-time visitors into lifelong customers.

FAQ

Boats should generally be serviced at least once a year or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. However, more frequent servicing may be necessary depending on usage and conditions. Annual services typically include oil changes, filter replacements, and thorough inspections of all systems. Additionally, perform basic maintenance checks before each use, such as inspecting the hull, checking fluid levels, and testing safety equipment.

While some basic maintenance tasks can be performed by boat owners, such as cleaning, visual inspections, and simple fluid checks, it’s recommended to have a professional handle more complex maintenance and repairs. Professional technicians have the expertise, tools, and diagnostic equipment to properly service boat engines and systems.

Proper boat winterization is essential to protect your vessel from cold weather damage and ensure it’s ready for the next season. Professionals provide a comprehensive service that includes draining and flushing the engine cooling system, adding antifreeze, changing oil and filters, stabilizing fuel, lubricating moving parts, and properly storing batteries. They use specialized tools and high-quality products, saving you time and ensuring thorough protection against freezing damage and corrosion. Additionally, professional winterization can help maintain warranty coverage and offers peace of mind, knowing your boat is properly prepared for winter.

Comprehensive Boat Service Offerings
