Have a 2001 bass tracker 175 with a 40 hp four stroke and was running a little sluggish when you gave it gas it would start to die. I’m a pretty handy guy work on my own cars kind of a jack of all trades and I took the carburetors apart, ultrasonic them twice to try to get this thing running right I got it to run better but just not how it should run so I brought it to US Marine and they had the boat for a couple weeks trying to figure it out themselves, and they too cleaned out the carburetors and they were able to find a vacuum leak on the manifold and after fixing that I took it out in the water this past weekend and the boat ran great so they did an excellent job. They specialize in this stuff and they’re good at what they do. definitely five stars in my opinion

Very reliable. Worry-free service. I haven’t compared prices so I can’t comment on that. I’m happy with USA Marine and have confidence that they are taking good care of my boat and motor when in storage. They keep their commitments on pickup and delivery or advise in advance if a schedule has to be changed.

Highly recommend USA Marine! I brought my '03 Pro-Line in for service and was blown away by the turnaround. I expected a two-week wait, but they had me ready in just two days. Another marina told me I needed expensive lower unit seals, but the team here was honest and found that wasn't the issue at all. They changed my water pump, gave it a tune-up, and replaced my live well hose and secondary water separator housing mount. They broke down every detail for me and made me feel completely confident in the safety of my boat. Truly impressed with their honesty and speed!"
