Why a Certified Mechanic is different

Today, manufacturers are largely computer or tech companies that are building motors. Sensors, limiters, ECUs, PCUs and fuel controllers, electric steering, GPS guidance, GPS speed control tools for vessel attitude, and stability.

Today’s Certified Mechanic and marine dealership is 100% required to have access to these computers for the diagnostic and repair side of the marine industry. They don’t just turn wrenches, they offer the safest and latest technologies to the consumer, and interpret them to provide the unique and specific service that your boat needs.
