Some people just love spending time on the water - skiing, sailing, pleasure boating. And some people spend time on the water because that’s how they make their living - fishing, shrimping, tourism and more.

And then there are the people like you, who make it all possible. Who keep those boats, big and small, running like they should, day in and day out.

Becoming a marine mechanic is no small feat. It takes a lot of time, education and apprenticeship to put together the skills you need to be successful - in large part because there’s so much to learn - so many different types of engines and fuel systems. So many different types of diagnostic tests. Boats are complicated pieces of machinery, there’s no doubt.

Marine mechanics are definitely in demand.

That’s why your decision to open your own shop near the water makes so much sense. Having a shop where the boats are offers your customers convenience that your competitors may not be able to offer - they can quickly and easily get their boats to you if they’re experiencing an issue or simply need routine maintenance. Plus, easy water access means you have a way to test each craft before, during and after repairs to check out problems and solutions - sometimes a much more effective method than diagnostics alone.
