ENGINE ELECTRICAL

Engine controls, harness, charging, J-1932, NMEA 2000, Transmission sensors, alarms, engine sensors, chargers, batteries, shifters, transmissions, Computer ECM ECU programming, throttles electronic, fuel level, and safety systems, wow Thats a lot to worry about. Having the wrong person working on any of these engine elements can quickly set you back—maybe way back. Over the years, and out of necessity, our founder was forced to complete over 30 major marine engine overhaul mechanical projects. This happened because all his long-time pro machine shops, the ones he used for decades, lost their principals due to aging or unskilled help. Now years later, Greg can bring some major diesel engine experience. They dropped Greg's engine stuff right back in his lap. Sometimes after stalling for perhaps a year or more. These were "Big Name" marine engine companies, ones you know or may have heard of. These heartaches forced Greg to survive on his own if was to get his owner's boats back on the water. Greg built an unshakable inventory of confidence by rebuilding a couple dozens of big marine engines. Cummins, MTU, Man, Mercedes anmd a slew of GM large and small blocks for mercruiser. He also helped our team accumulate the correct tools for those big jobs until we found it easier and easier to complete engine overhauls ourselves. Since then, we’ve built very specialized and clean areas with a dedicated room in our boatyard to do your rebuild or help you do it. Plenty of room at our yard.
