About the service
A mechanical problem that keeps you tied to the dock is never convenient — and in Marina del Rey, where weekend sails and coastal trips are the whole point, a reliable engine matters. We connect MDR boat owners with experienced diesel and outboard mechanics who come to your slip across any basin in the harbor.
Our technicians service the most common engines found at Marina del Rey — Yanmar, Westerbeke, Universal, Volvo Penta, and major outboard brands including Yamaha, Mercury, and Honda. From a routine oil change to a full injector rebuild, we handle it at your dock.
What's included
Engines we service
Yanmar — the most common diesel engine in Marina del Rey sailboats. We service the full range from the 1GM through 4JH series. Impeller changes, injector service, heat exchanger cleaning, and more.
Westerbeke and Universal — older American diesels found in classic MDR boats. Parts are still available and these engines last decades with proper service.
Volvo Penta — popular in powerboats throughout the marina. Saildrive and shaft-drive configurations both serviced.
Outboards — Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, and Suzuki. We service everything from 9.9hp dinghies to large outboard configurations.
Describe what's going on with your boat and we'll figure it out together — no pressure, no commitment.

Yes — most engine repairs can be done at your slip without moving the boat. We bring our own tools and parts for common repairs. For major work requiring a hoist or significant disassembly, we'll coordinate with a local boatyard.
The raw water pump impeller should be inspected every season and replaced every 1–2 years or every 200–300 hours, whichever comes first. In Marina del Rey's warm water, erring on the earlier side is wise.
Overheating in a boat diesel is most often caused by a failed impeller, blocked raw water intake (check your seacock and strainer first), or a stuck thermostat. Call us and we'll walk you through the most likely causes before scheduling a visit.
Yes — Yanmar is the most common diesel engine in Marina del Rey sailboats and one we work on daily. We service the full range from 1GM through 4JH series.
Yes. Raw water pump leaks are one of the most common issues we see. We carry common replacement pumps and seals for the most popular engine types in MDR.
Yes — mobile oil changes at your slip are one of the most straightforward services we offer. We bring the oil, filter, and pump-out equipment. Waste oil is properly disposed of.
A basic oil/filter/impeller service takes about 2–3 hours. More complex repairs (injectors, heat exchangers, shaft seals) can take 4–8 hours or require a return visit if parts need to be ordered.
Yes — we service all major outboard brands including Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, and Suzuki, from small tender motors to large outboard configurations.
