Outboard repair on the fresh-to-brackish South Fork
The South Fork is tricky water for a motor. It swings between fresh and brackish with rainfall and releases, and that back-and-forth is rough on cooling systems: scale, sediment, and corrosion take turns. It also means anodes may not be doing what you think.
We look at what the water is doing to your motor, not what the manual assumes. Palm City's outboard boats run the canals out toward the St. Lucie Inlet, and we repair at yacht club docks and canal homes. Inboard repair is a separate service. Palm City is 20 to 30 minutes from Port St. Lucie, and travel cost is quoted upfront.
