 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my boat to Doug to check out a potential issue with my motor on Monday. We scheduled it so I would drop it off a couple of days prior to him being able to look it over on Wednesday. He jumped in my boat and popped the motor cover off to check it over even before I unhooked the boat from my truck to leave it there. Within 10 minutes he found a tube from a spray can stuck in the motor making it rev when in idle. The tube came from when my motor was winterized by someone else last year. He connected the water muff and tested the motor. It worked perfectly again. We chatted a bit and I was back on the road in less than an hour with my properly working boat and motor in tow! Doug now will have my business for winterization in the future or if I have any issues. Thanks Doug!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doug was very friendly and informative, he’s definitely an expert in his field. All prices were fair and he accepts credit cards with a 3% charge if you need it. He provides diagnostic photos for you to show you the issues, and has great communication. We used him for our Mercury lower unit repair and our 15 hp Johnson.

Can I drop off after hours?

Yes. Many customers cannot make it during normal business hours, so after-hours drop-off is common. Service envelopes and key tags are available in the drop box.

Many repairs require inspection and diagnostic testing before an estimate can be provided. While some routine maintenance and clearly defined services may not require diagnostic labor, Anchor Marine determines when inspection and testing are necessary. Diagnostic labor is billed at the current shop labor rate($160 per hour) and an average diagnosis charge of $100 should be expected.

Please park in one of the four designated Boat Parking spaces. These spaces are clearly marked with yellow parking blocks labeled “Boat Parking.” If you are dropping off after hours, simply park in an available space and follow the instructions at the secure drop box.
