Priority repair services.

A weekend on the water is not interchangeable. Birthdays, tournaments, a Saturday the family already blocked off — those dates do not move because a shop calendar is full. Priority repair is how SeaBound treats that timeline as part of the job.

Call the office. Tell the service advisor the date and time the boat has to run. For a nominal fee we move your repair ahead of routine work, stage parts, and schedule the technician around that deadline so you splash when you planned to splash.

Why this exists

• Northeast Florida shops book out. A yard ticket can sit while the weather window closes.
• A no-start the night before a trip is a family problem, not just a mechanical one.
• Salt, heat, and ethanol do not wait for the next available Tuesday.
• Dockside work skips the trailer and the haul-out queue.
• You get a written scope and a target splash date before extra work starts.

How it works: call or text (904) 200-2117. Give year, make, model, hours, location, and the hard date. We confirm whether the job can be done at the dock, what has to be ordered, and what the priority fee covers. Pricing is quoted by the office — it is not listed here yet.

Mercury, Yamaha, and Suzuki — by the book.

Packages follow published owner-manual interval charts for typical recreational use. Due at the listed hours or the listed calendar time, whichever comes first. Severe use shortens the interval. Your model manual controls. No package pricing until we lock parts and labor.

Two-stroke vs four-stroke

	Two-stroke	Four-stroke
Oil	Premix or oil injection. No crankcase drain like a four-stroke; watch the reservoir, mix, and spark.	Crankcase oil and filter on a clock — break-in, then 100-hour / annual on current Mercury, Yamaha, and Suzuki charts.
Spark	Plugs foul faster. Inspection is a regular interval item.	Inspect/clean mid-interval; replace on the annual / 200-hour class service on many charts.
Gearcase	Still on the clock. Milky lube is a seal failure either way.	Change at break-in and at every major interval.
Water pump	Inspect mid-service; replace on the 200–300 hour / multi-year service.	Same pattern. A dead impeller cooks a four-stroke just as fast.
Valves / belts	No automotive-style valve lash on classic two-strokes.	Valve clearance, timing belt/chain, and thermostats appear on 200 / 300 / 500-hour charts.

Mercury outboard & Mercruiser inboard-class

Mercury’s published pattern is the 20 / 100 / 300 rule: break-in at about 20 hours, then 100 hours or one year, then 300 hours or three years — whichever comes first.

Mercury sells official 100-hour and 300-hour service kits by engine family. Mercruiser sterndrives follow the same hour-or-time rule in that engine’s manual.

Yamaha outboard & inboard-class

Yamaha charts assume about 100 hours per year and regular flushing: 20 hours (3 months) · 100 hours (1 year) · 300 hours (3 years) · 500 hours (5 years).

Yamaha’s published maintenance note: change engine and lower-unit oils every 100 hours, flush regularly, replace fuel filters, treat fuel, and manage corrosion. Two-stroke Yamahas stay on the same hour columns; oiling is injection or premix.

Suzuki outboard & inboard-class four-stroke

Suzuki DF-series chart: initial 20 hrs or 1 month · every 100 hrs or 12 months · every 200 hrs or 12 months · every 300 hrs or 36 months. I = inspect, R = replace, T = tighten.

These are interval packages, not a price list. Call with model and hours and we map the engine to the correct visit.
