If your boat won't start, won't trim, or has gauges and switches acting up, Spokane Boat Repair will come to it and track down the problem. We do ignition, no-start, trim, and general electrical diagnostics at your home, storage lot, or marina, at a $129 trip fee plus $200 an hour, plus tax.
Electrical problems on boats are usually a bad connection, a failed part, or corrosion somewhere you can't easily see. Finding which one is the job.
7 AM – 7 PM, 7 days a week
No-starts are especially common in spring, after a boat has sat all winter. Some of the usual causes:
Not every no-start is electrical. Fuel problems can look similar, especially after winter storage, and we check fuel systems and fuel pumps too. We'll figure out which one it is.
Power trim problems usually fall into one of three places: the switch, the wiring, or the pump.
We work on trim wiring, switches, and pumps on outboards and sterndrives.
If your problem isn't on this list, call and describe it. If it's not work we do, we'll tell you.
Diagnosing electrical problems is often the biggest part of the job. Once the fault is found, the fix itself is frequently quick.
Electrical repairs are billed at our standard repair rate:
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Trip fee (repair visits only) | $129 + tax |
| Labor (including diagnosis) | $200/hour + tax |

A lot of spring no-starts start in the fall. A boat winterized with fuel stabilizer and fogged cylinders is easier to bring back. Our winterization runs antifreeze through the cooling system, fogs the cylinders, and adds fuel stabilizer, and spring dewinterization is $270 plus tax per engine.

The most common causes are a weak or dead battery, loose or corroded connections, the kill switch lanyard, the starter, or the control not being fully in neutral. Fuel problems can look like electrical ones too, especially after winter. We'll test and find which it is.
A click with no crank usually points to a weak battery, a bad connection, or the starter or starter solenoid. Check that the battery is charged and the cables are tight first. If that's not it, it needs to be tested.
It's usually the switch, a relay or fuse, the wiring, or the trim pump. If the pump runs but the engine doesn't move, it may be low on fluid or have a pump problem. We diagnose and repair trim wiring, switches, and pumps.
