Outboard Engine Repair in Fort Lauderdale & South Florida

When your outboard will not start, overheats, loses power, or throws an alarm, you need an outboard mechanic who can find the real problem and fix it right. Proficient Marine provides complete outboard engine repair for Yamaha, Mercury, and Suzuki outboards, from quick diagnostics to powerhead and lower unit rebuilds, at our Oakland Park shop or at your dock with our mobile marine service.

We have expanded well beyond routine service. If you are looking for scheduled 100-hour or annual service, see our outboard maintenance page. If something is broken, you are in the right place.
