Running Gear Services

Anything regarding your running gear that can be repaired or replaced while in the water is our specialty.

​

Our experienced divers are well equipped to handle all of your running gear service needs including propellers, shafts, struts, trim tabs, intakes (through-hulls), intake covers, transducers, knotmeter, keel coolers (when applicable), grounding plates, and line cutters. 

​

Some signs that your Running Gear may need to be serviced are:

​

• vibration when the boat is in gear

• black smoke coming from your exhaust

• loss of RPMs

• increased fuel consumption

• "prop walk" or an inability to control the direction of your boats movement even when in   gear

• knotmeter failure

• depth-finder failure

• lack of ability to draw water through your intakes

​

If you notice any of the above signs you need to get your running gear inspected and serviced as soon as possible.  If not, this can result in costly damage such as:

​

• warped shaft

• damaged cutless bearing

• overheated engine

• nonfunctioning AC unit

​

Don't forget, as you add equipment to your boat and weight, you'll need to address your running gear as well.  Contact Us today for our rates and services.
