Services
Every year, saltwater enthusiasts who store their boats in the water go through the same ritual: painting the boat bottom. We offer a variety of paints from different manufacturers, and a rainbow of different colors. After 3 to 5 years of repeated painting, the old paint begins to flake off. Aqua-blasting is the choice procedure for cleaning off old paint and preparing the bottom for the new coat of paint.
You name it, we can store it! Our storage is the most affordable in the region, offering a place for your boat and trailer (under 22'), car or pick-up for only "A Buck a Day" (95 day minimum). We can also accommodate special needs and larger storage requirements. Our location is convenient to New Hanover, Brunswick, and Pender counties, with easy access to Hwy's 421, I-140, 74, 76, and 17.

I've known Mark for almost 40 years now, all the way back to when he was just starting out at Paul Wetzig's property in town off of Market Street.
There is no better outboard mechanic. Period.

I took a tilt and trim unit to these guys a few months back and just recently was able to use it and discovered that it was still leaking. I brought it back to them and even though they did not remember working on it they honored the work and replaced the seals. Great guys who stand by their work, really appreciative for everything they did to help me.

Mark is an miracle working mechanic, ive witnessed him bring back water logged motors, blown motors, seized motors, reset cylinder sleeves, literally anything. He also will keep at it until your problem is fixed. Even better than that, Mark is a terrific person. The only drawback is usually he is swamped.

Mark was awesome. I think I’ve written one review in my life time, he went out of his way to explain everything he did to fix my lower unit and had it back to me in 3 days. I’ve been back on the water with zero issues since this repair, fair prices and awesome service. Thanks again

Amazing. Full tune-up, new Tachometer, new fuel meter, fixed the gas line, and replaced water pump WITHIN 24 hours, and the price was great. They were also able to fix a problem with one of the cylinders that three other mechanics couldn't fix. The last place I took my boat to had it for TWO MONTHS, and it was still not right. These guys have my business from now on. Great work and friendly guys.

Been working with Dink and Mark for a long time....mostly Dink on my smaller and antique motors. Great group of guys Dink, Mark, and Bill.... Dink is retired now, (well deserved) but take the time to talk with him when you see him, you will learn so much! Most of what I've learned about outboards and my old antiques came from just talking and listening to Dink. And that's priceless knowledge! Price and service always good!

I am very fortunate to have found Dink, Mark, and Bill from Marine Mechanix.
I live and cruise on my old motor yacht. She has an inflatable dinghy powered by a 2006 Johnson 9.9 hp, two stroke motor.
The motor was I flooded by salt water, and I didn't know about the salt water submersion until more than three months after the flood. By then, the motor was totally seized. The manual pull starter was locked tight.
I talked with three mechanics. They all told me that the motor was a total loss.
I was devastated!
I decided to contact one more professional mechanic, for an opinion, before heading

The best experience I've ever had with a boat mechanic. Not many times are you able to pull in a repair shop at 430 and they tell you to back it on in and let's look at it!!! Mark was very knowledgeable of all the wiring in the boat and on the motor.. ended up having a bad wire in the wiring harness 30 minutes later problem fixed!! Very reasonable and without a doubt I will be a returning customer!!! Thanks Mark
