Most Welland boats we see run the rec canal or trailer to Lake Erie at Port Colborne, and the common jobs are fuel-system service, cooling and water-pump impeller work, charging faults and the odd lower-unit rebuild. We diagnose, write the estimate, and fix only what was agreed. Welland regulars come back because they know what they're paying for and the same job doesn't come back the next season.
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 Welland
- 01 Canal and both lakes.
Welland boats run the rec canal and trailer to Erie at Port Colborne or Ontario at Port Dalhousie. We know the wear each one puts on an engine.
- 02 Repeat-customer shop.
A lot of Welland owners come back every season. We explain the job, price it in writing, and do not pad the bill.
- 03 Authorized Tohatsu dealer.
Factory-trained Tohatsu service and OEM parts, plus Mercury, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.
- 04 Leave it, we will call.
Most Welland owners drop the boat and we keep it for the work, then call when the estimate is ready.
- 05 Winterize and store.
Bundle fall winterization, shrink wrap and storage so the canal boat is sorted until spring.
