Fantastic boat mechanic. Super helpful and honest. Reasonably priced. He even helped me change a flat on my boat tire while I was there!

I have an older Mercury 100 HP outboard that was giving me some trouble. I took it to John's shop for a tune up and to try to fix some of the problems. John worked and worked on that motor until he found the problem and fixed it! His prices were reasonable and he stands by his work 100%. Now she runs like a champ! I was so excited I almost ran it right out of gas on the lake this weekend! I highly recommend John and Zemp Marine!

John Zemp at Zemp 4-Cycle Marine is the REAL DEAL. He is an excellent boat mechanic and dedicated to customer service. We had him do some engine work on our cabin cruiser and he was fast, thorough and his estimate was accurate and more affordable than all other quotes we received. But what really blew me away is a week later when I called about a lingering condition with the engine, WHILE WE WERE ON THE LAKE, he came out and met us at the boat launch, rode around and assessed and corrected the new condition without additional charge. This is by far the best customer service and dedication to customer

Bought older bass boat with a Bearcat 55 outboard and although it ran it would not idle properly. I was told by a friend to contact Jon at Zemp 4 Cycle and man was that a hot tip. Jon went over engine and quickly fixed issue even issues I didn't see for an outstanding price. He also works on any 2 stroke or 4 stroke outboard.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Fixed my boat first time and in less than a day. I had taken my boat to another shop and they failed to address the original problem and kept my boat for almost a month. Made an appointment with Zemp and they had me back on the lake the SAME DAY. Extremely pleased and the price was good . Also let me know of a couple things to watch out for or upcoming service on my older 1998 boat. Tested the boat after I picked up and worked beautifully. If he keeps racking up 5 star reviews you might have to wait in line to see him but it's worth the wait.
