Outboard Motor Repair in Dunnville
Outboard work is most of what we do, and as an authorized, factory-trained Tohatsu dealer we service Tohatsu, Mercury, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki out of our Dunnville shop on Broad St E. For locals it's a short trailer to a shop that already knows the boat.

Local angle. Dunnville
Dunnville and Grand River fishing boats live on their outboards, and we rebuild them, repower them, and chase down the won't-starts, no-spark faults and overheats that keep a boat at the dock. Water-pump impellers, lower-unit service, powerhead work and fuel-system cleanups are daily jobs here, and we'll tell you honestly when an engine has life left and when it doesn't.
What you get
- Powerhead diagnosis and repair
- Lower-unit service and seal replacement
- Impeller and water pump replacement
- Fuel system service and carburetor work
- Ignition and electrical repair
- Compression and leak-down testing
