Our Running Gear & Mechanical services cover every critical component below the waterline — all backed by expert craftsmanship and years of marine experience.
Propellers (Props)
Your propeller is where power meets water — and even slight damage, imbalance, or incorrect pitch can sap performance and fuel economy.
We offer:
- Prop inspection & performance evaluation
- Repair of dents, bends, cracks, and edge nicks
- Reconditioning, straightening & dynamic balancing
- Recommendations for the best pitch, cup, and material for your application
Benefits of proper prop management:
- Improved top speed and acceleration
- Better fuel efficiency
- Reduced vibration & drivetrain strain
Propeller Shafts
The shaft transfers engine power directly to your prop — any misalignment, wear, or corrosion can cause vibration, noise, and premature bearing and seal failure.
Our shaft services include:
- Precision inspection & straightness testing
- Polishing and corrosion treatment
- Custom shaft fabrication & replacement
- Precision alignment of shaft, coupler and engine
With proper shaft alignment, you’ll notice reduced vibration, smoother horsepower delivery, and longer service life for all connected components.
Shaft Seals & Stuffing Boxes
A leaking shaft seal can quickly become a costly and dangerous problem.
We handle:
- Shaft seal replacement
- Stuffing box rebuilds and upgrades
- Dripless and mechanical seal installations
- Regular service & troubleshooting
We install and service the top brands in marine sealing technology to keep water where it belongs — outside the hull.
Thru-Hulls & Seacocks
Any opening in your hull must be installed and maintained with precision.
Our thru-hull services include:
- New thru-hull installation
- Seacock repair & replacement
- Safe removal and re-sealing
- Hose replacement and sea-worthy connections Safety first: poorly installed or aging thru-hulls are a leading cause of water ingress incidents.
Struts
Struts support your shaft and prop assembly. When they get worn, corroded, or misaligned, vibration and shaft wear follow.
We provide:
- Strut inspection & realignment
- Bearing replacement
- Structural reinforcement
- Corrosion protection
A solid strut alignment means reduced stress on your engine, bearings, and seals.
Cutlass Bearings
Cutlass bearings cushion your shaft and protect expensive components from wear, especially in saltwater environments.
Our services here include:
- Bearing removal and replacement
- Grooving and sizing for proper fit
- Material upgrades for long life
- Routine maintenance checks
Worn cutlass bearings often cause vibration or noise — don’t ignore them.
