Mechanical Repair & Running Gear Service in Everett, WA

Shaft & Prop Service

Properly maintained shafts and propellers are essential for efficiency, performance, and safety. Our services in this area include:

• Inspection of shaft alignment and condition (shaft straightness, bearing wear).
• Propeller repair: ding/fairing, blade straightening, polishing.
• Balancing of props to reduce vibration and wear.
• Shaft seal and packing maintenance, including replacement as needed.
• Shaft coupling checks, hardware integrity, and ensuring proper clearance.

We understand that even a small imbalance or misalignment can lead to vibration, noise, drag, or damage to supporting components. Everett Yacht Service uses precision tools and alignment equipment to minimize downtime and improve performance.

Running Gear

The running gear (keels, rudders, struts, trim tabs, etc.) plays a crucial role in steering, stability, and overall hydrodynamics. We offer:

• Inspection and repair of struts, cutlass bearings, rudder stocks, and seals.
• Replacement or repair of trim tabs and their actuators.
• Underwater gear servicing (when hauled out), including polishing and fairing to reduce drag.
• Prop shaft supports and bearings, ensuring smooth motion and minimal friction.

Our shop is equipped to handle both sail and power vessels, high performance or displacement hulls, recognizing the varying demands on running gear.

Thrusters

Docking, maneuvering in tight quarters, or maintaining control in challenging conditions—thrusters make a big difference. Everett Yacht Service offers:

• Installation of bow and stern thrusters.
• Preventative maintenance of hydraulic or electrical thruster systems.
• Troubleshooting noise, electrical faults, vibrations.
• Repair or replacement of thruster motors, gear sets, seals, and wiring.

We ensure your thruster systems respond when you need them and are reliable under load.

Engine Service

Routine engine service is essential to preventing failures away from help. We perform basic maintenance and work with local mechanics to fulfill your engine’s needs.

• Scheduled oil changes, filter replacements (fuel, oil, air, coolant).
• Cooling system flushes, raw water pump inspections, impeller replacement.
• Fuel system inspection: filters, injectors, water separators.
• Exhaust and turbocharger checks.
• Diagnostics of engine performance: compression, fuel consumption, smoke, vibration, overheating issues.

We work on both diesel and gasoline marine engines, using parts from trusted brands and adhering to manufacturer-recommended intervals.

Minor Engine Repair

Not all engine problems require full overhauls. We handle many “minor” repairs quickly and effectively to get you back on the water:

• Repairing small leaks (oil, fuel, coolant).
• Replacing belts, hoses, clamps.
• Fixing or replacing sensors, thermostats, gauges.
• Addressing electrical issues: starters, alternators, wiring harnesses.
• Turbocharger repairs, cooling circuit fixes, and minor in-frame repairs not requiring full disassembly.
