Boat Repair in Haldimand County
Hartzel Marine is the home-county repair shop for Haldimand boaters, based in Dunnville on Broad St E. Most of the county is a 30-minute trailer or less, and we see the same river and lake boats year after year.

Haldimand boats run the Grand River through Cayuga and Caledonia and the Lake Erie shore from Port Maitland to Selkirk and Lowbanks. We treat each on its own terms: river boats for fuel and low-speed cooling, lake boats for impellers, overheats and charging. Mechanical, electrical, fuel and cooling work all happen in-shop, with a written estimate before any paid work and a logged record kept against the boat.
What you get
- Full mechanical diagnostic
- Electrical and fuel system testing
- Cooling system pressure and flow checks
- Itemized written estimate before repair
- Photographic service record
- Outboard, sterndrive and inboard work
Why Hartzel for Haldimand
- 01 Your county shop.
Dunnville is in Haldimand, so most of the county is a short trailer away. No shipping a boat out of the region for real mechanical work.
- 02 River and lake both.
Grand River boats from Cayuga and Caledonia, Lake Erie boats from Port Maitland, Selkirk and Lowbanks. Different wear, same careful diagnosis.
- 03 Authorized Tohatsu dealer.
Factory-trained Tohatsu service and OEM parts, plus full work on Mercury, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.
- 04 Seasonal, sorted.
Winterize, shrink wrap and store in one fall drop-off, then a spring tune-up that has the boat launch-ready.
- 05 One file per boat.
Every job is logged against the hull, so the next visit starts from what we already did.
