Maintenance and Repair services in Duxbury, MA

Duxbury Bay is shallow with shifting sandbars, so we see a lot of prop strikes, skeg damage, and lower unit repairs from Duxbury boats. If you have touched bottom, it is worth having the lower unit checked before vibration turns into a gearcase failure.

Most Duxbury boaters winterize between mid October and Thanksgiving. Boats on moorings in the bay should come out before the late fall northeast blows, and the engine and systems need antifreeze protection before the first hard freeze.

Yes. Prop, skeg, and lower unit work is core outboard service at our Plymouth shop, a short trailer ride down Route 3 from Duxbury. We also check seals after groundings, since a bent prop shaft can let water into the gear oil.

Work is done at our shop on South Meadow Road in Plymouth. Many Duxbury owners bring their boats to us at haul out for winterization plus any fiberglass or engine repairs, so everything is done in one visit.

Flush with fresh water after every outing, keep sacrificial anodes fresh, and have the cooling system serviced each season. Salt and the bay's sandy bottom are tough on water pumps, so annual impeller checks are smart for Duxbury outboards.
