General Boat Engine, Maintenance & Repair

General Engine & Boat Maintenance

John has done some work for friends I know and was recommended because he took care of some quite technical engine sensor problems.  He also changed some difficult to get to engine impellers for me.  He was working for a local dealer and with the slow times went out on his own.  He is very fair priced and will travel to you.  John is certainly on my list for engine work and advice.  John has a great web site with more detail on services and charges at www.aquamobilemarine.com

Call John at (916) 274-1137

Here is the detail!   If you have someone you would recommend, send me, the Boater Guy an email, or post it and your comments on the social boater forum.  

I hope to make it easy to find good folks that you can trust to work on your boat.     The Boater Guy

J N A Marine Service

J N A has this nice husband and wife shop in West Sacramento.  While I’m sure the Jess is an outstanding mechanic, his wife, Natalie, is the one who has worked on my outboard.  Peter Robinson also has high praise for there work.  They do great engine work and I suspect they work on stern drives as well.  Peter and I both agree they do outstanding work and deliver on time.  They are fair priced and you can trust them to do what they say.  They like to work on boats and outboard motors that are brought to their shop.    

600 Houston St. West Sacramento CA

Call Jess or Natalie at (916) 372-7727

River City Marine

Bob from Tsunami highly recommended Nick from River City Marine.  They do boat repair, trailer repair, outdrive repair, engine overhaul gas or diesel, marine fiberglass gel coat, stereo, marine electronics, marine generators, houseboat repair, houseboat and yacht transport, bottom painting ship wrighting

It also appears he only works on boats brought to his shop.  I don’t have a lot of information but I will get more soon.  If Bob recommends Nick then I would feel very comfortable brining a boat to him for service.  I believe Nick has his shop in West Sacramento.

Liquid Service Center - Boat Service & Repair

I have known Mike Nardo for years. He use to work for Berry Paulson’s Boat Center before they closed the business.  He had to put up with me looking, looking and more looking at the new boats.  We even bought the same model 4 Winns Boat.  Anyway Mike opened his own Shop and does quality boat service.  Along with almost any kind of repair or service you need, his shop can also do Volvo Penta warrantee work.

Mike has factory trained technicians working for him.  He has a pretty impressive shop and they  are located at 2550 Mercantile Dr. Suite A, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742.  That is over by Sunrise Blvd.  He has a great web site, Liquid Service Center, with lots more information.

J&H Marine in Stockton

Eric from J&H Marine from Stockton found our web site and asked to be included.  It looks like J&H Marine has been around for over 35 years, and it is great to find a Kohler generator mechanic.  Seems like gen sets are the least reliable part on a boat, well next to the Captain.  :)  Eric’s company also works on Diesel motors as well so that is a great addition.  He said J&H Marine’s primary focus is mechanical work, specializing in power generation and large diesel propulsion engines.  J&H Marine’s web site is www.jhmarine.com so please visit for more information.  Also if you have any feed back it would be nice to hear.
