Ben's Boat Repair
Dear Boat Owners,
Since closing in October 2016, we have kept our eye on the industry, the economy, and the changing climate conditions. We find the conditions are still unfavorable economically, and are disappointed by the industry's lack of progressive innovations.
Consumer demand often drives progress and innovation. Many consumers seem to be unaware of the incredible innovations happening around the world, so we have decided to use this space to increase your awareness of the alternatives to gasoline.
Imagine owning a boat that requires no oil changes, fuel stabilizers, or winterizing. Imagine never paying marina fuel prices ever again. Imagine never trashing another engine because of ethanol damage.
"Rainbow water" is bad for the environment. We can no longer be complacent or complicit in the destruction on the planet. I can no longer look into the eyes of your children and grandchildren without feeling shame.
If that makes me a "tree hugging liberal", I'm okay with that.
Love,
The Wench
An eye on the emerging future

Engine issues?
We make 'em go, we don't make 'em pretty. Regular preventative maintenance will save you money. Spending the extra dollar or two for quality parts makes a difference. Your boat is an investment, and like any investment, you have to put a little money in it if you want to get anything out of it. Don't ignore "your lady". Listen when she talks, especially when she says "call the mechanic".
Customer Complaint: No Start
We don't normally work on outboards, but we make an exception from time to time. The customer said it was running a little weak the last time he had it out, but now it wouldn't start at all.
Engines won't run without compression. You can't make compression when you have holes in your cylinders.

$4 oil filter = $4,000 repair
Customer spent $4,000 building a 383 stroker motor. He used quality parts from Comp, Eagle, ARP, Keith Black, and Holley. He must have hit his head on the way to the parts store... he cheaped out and put a $4 oil filter on a High-Volume oil pump. He said it ran fine for a few hours, then started smoking a little, then just stopped and wouldn't start. The oil filter collapsed, starving the engine for oil. The crank broke in 3 places, scratched the camshaft, cracked the block in 4 places, and bent a few valves.
