Keeping your boat in good shape requires regular maintenance. You might also need to have repairs done for minor issues or major damage. When you need boat service, head to North Water Marine!

We’re an open shop that takes walk-ins for maintenance and other service needs. Our family-owned and operated shop provides quality care for local boat owners, including all of the following services:

  • Yearly maintenance
  • Repairs
  • Custom work, such as detailing
  • Winterization
  • Storage

Annual Boat Maintenance

Having this kind of work done on your watercraft means you can keep using it without issues year after year. Our trained technicians can clean your boat, restore vinyl and other materials as needed, and perform other boating maintenance tasks.

Our technicians are certified in all of the following watercraft brands:

  • Evinrude
  • Honda
  • MerCruiser
  • Mercury
  • Suzuki
  • Volvo Penta

Watercraft Repairs

Even with routine maintenance, boats can end up with some damage or wear and tear. Having boating repairs done as soon as possible means you can get back to cruising around on the water. And you’ll have a lower risk of having minor boat problems turn into serious — and costly — issues.

Custom Work

Having detailing done can enhance your boat’s appearance. This might include refurbishing surfaces with buffing, polishing, and other tasks. Or you might want to add finishes to fiberglass, seat cushions, and other materials.

Our experts take requests for this kind of custom work. We can handle this while your boat’s in storage for the winter. Or we can do this work at another time if you prefer.

Boat Storage

At North Water Marine, we offer different kinds of storage to fit your needs. We can store your boat in a heated indoor facility to help protect it from the elements during winter. Or we can shrink wrap your boat and place it on a rack in the off season.

Just let us know what you’re looking for in terms of storage, and we’ll be happy to help! We can keep your boat safe while you’re away on vacation for a week or so in summer. Or we can store it securely for the whole off season.

Our boat storage service includes all of the following:

  • Winterization to ensure protection from harsh winter weather
  • Preventive maintenance to keep your boat in top shape
  • Spring lake test to make sure your boat’s all set for the season

Winterization for Boats

New Hampshire’s frigid temps mean that boats require protection and preparation. Keeping your boat in storage isn’t enough. It needs winterization to help reduce the risk of damage. Our knowledgeable team can handle this process from start to finish.

Some of the tasks performed as part of this process include:

  • Draining water from the engine
  • Adding a fuel-stabilizing additive
  • Adding antifreeze
  • Removing drain plugs

*Winterization and repair work done in winter usually can’t be tested until spring or summer. We’re able to take this kind of service work in the off-season, but you may need to wait until the weather warms up to check the results.

Other Services We Offer

At North Water Marine, we also provide the following services:

  • Valet services to have boats ready for launching and retrieving
  • Boat rentals and charters, including pontoon rentals and sunset cruises
  • New and pre-owned boats for sale
