Outboard maintenance and repair
Lowcountry Boat Repair works primarily with outboard-powered boats, with extensive real-world experience on Yamaha and Suzuki systems. The goal is not to replace parts until something works—it is to understand the failure and make a sensible repair plan.

Before you request service
Start with the vessel year, make and length, approximate engine year, make and horsepower, and a description of the service requested or symptoms. Exact model and serial numbers are helpful but optional, and can be provided later when needed for parts identification.
