Outboard Motor Service

These boys are not the cheapest place in town to get your motor worked on but let me tell you what they are. They are the only mechanic I will take my johnson/evinrude motors to. The old man is an expert tech. He can pull the cowling off and tell you how long the motor has been sitting around outside or in storage. He can tell you if it's gonna be worth working on or not. You won't have to worry about the motor running good when you get it back from them because it's gonna run better than it did when it was brand new. These guys are the best in the business.

Mark is the best!! He has a great support crew too, including his wife. We were desperate to find someone who knew older carburetor engine repairs. We took our boat with 130 hp Evinrude to 2 other repair shops close to Xenia and Waynesville. They couldn't diagnose the problems, but they sure tore the engine up, taking it apart and not putting it back together properly. When Mark got a hold of it, he turned everything around. Our 1995 engine runs great, purrs like a kitten, and is operating better than when it was new. We are so grateful, and would recommend him to all.

Lee and Mark worked on your boat for a good couple hours. Got timing set,put a new prop on, new cables. We were having problems getting full speed and boat not starting every time. I highly recommend this place especially your older outboard motors. They are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. They went over the boat with a fine tooth comb. They also were priced very reasonable. Thanks Lee and Mark! ( P.s. sorry about the snake that was in the motor,scared Lee too death ) but on other note the boat is running and sounds great now

After reading all of the reviews, I must say that the majority of us are in agreement with the quality of work and the vast knowledge of outboards that Mark and Lee both demonstrate. As far as their personalities go, you really need to get to know them. They can be a little harsh it seems but they are very nice guys. They bailed me out of many issues with my outboard and were at first hesitant to do anything with it. BUT, they (Mark) took it on and did an outstanding job. Mark found many issues that were over looked by a previous shop that did a total rebuild of my powerhead. Heck, Mark even took a "shot of voltage" from my engine cover while searching for a short! He found it!! I spent 2 days in the shop with them and I observed them in action both with the repairs and dealing with the public. They are very professional in their ways. I would not hesitate to go back to them. I should have went to them 1st on the rebuild for guidance even if they did not want to take on my project. Live and learn. I thought I bought a lemon but Mark has it all dialed in and I am back on the water.
I highly recommend Outboard Motor Service!

The guys at Outboard Motor Service are not only some of the best outboard repair experts but they also take the time to explain what they are doing and why! You can't find that kind of service and knowledge sharing, especially in the boating industry. Lee and Mark are good guys that enjoy what they do. The only potential problem is lead time as they can get pretty busy, especially during the boating season. If you have to wait, it will be worth it - use your kayak for a week or two!
