Marine Service for Port Dover Boaters
Port Dover sits where the Lynn River meets Lake Erie, and it is one of the busiest boating harbours on the north shore: a working commercial fishing fleet, charter boats, and a big recreational crowd chasing yellow perch, walleye and smallmouth bass out toward Long Point. Most Port Dover owners come to us for outboard service, fishing-boat repair, and fall winterization and storage. The long open-water runs that make Lake Erie great fishing are also what wear engines out, and our diagnostic and repair process is built around exactly that.
~45 minutes from Dunnville.
Why Port Dover boaters work with us
Port Dover boaters make the 45-minute trailer west because they want to know what they are paying for before the work starts. We diagnose first, put the estimate in writing, keep Tohatsu OEM and common service parts on the shelf, and log every job against the boat. So the shop that traced your mid-summer overheat already knows the engine when it comes back for winterization in October.

Port Dover questions
Why would I drive from Port Dover to Dunnville for boat service?
For a shop that diagnoses before it charges, keeps Tohatsu OEM and common parts on the shelf, and logs every job against your boat. It is about 45 minutes by trailer, and many Port Dover regulars come back every season.
My outboard overheats on long Lake Erie runs. Can you find it?
Yes, it is one of our most common Port Dover jobs. We pressure-test the cooling system, check the water-pump impeller and thermostat, and clear blocked passages, then show you what was wrong before we quote the repair.
What outboard brands do you service for Port Dover boats?
Tohatsu as an authorized, factory-trained dealer, plus Mercury, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki, and older Evinrude and Johnson two-strokes still common on the fishing fleet.
Can you winterize and store a Port Dover fishing boat?
Yes. Fishing boats and recreational boats from Port Dover are regular fall customers. Winterize, shrink wrap and store in one drop-off, and book by September 15.
