At Lake Point we like to make it easy to do business, and that starts with a quote over the phone. You shouldn't have to tow your boat across the county just to find out what something might cost. The more you can tell us, the more useful the quote will be.
Have this info ready
- Boat year, make and length. The capacity plate or title has it.
- Engine make, horsepower and year, plus the serial number if you can find it. On outboards it's usually on a plate on the mounting bracket. On sterndrives, look on the engine and the drive.
- Engine type: outboard, inboard or sterndrive (I/O).
- Engine hours, if your gauge shows them.
- Where the boat is: on a trailer, in the water, at a dock or in storage.
Describe the problem like a mechanic would want to hear it
Instead of "it's running bad", try:
- When does it happen? Cold start, warm, at idle, at full throttle?
- What changed? After fueling, after sitting, after hitting something?
- What do you hear, see or smell? Clunk, squeal, smoke, fuel smell, an alarm?
- What have you already tried?
Photos and short videos help too, especially of a leak, a gauge reading or a strange noise.
What a phone quote can and can't do
A phone quote is a good starting point, especially for maintenance, parts and common repairs. For problems we can't pin down on the phone, the next step is a proper check at the shop. That's what Engine Diagnostics is for. Either way, we'll tell you what's going on before any work starts.
No trailer? Mention it on the call
If your boat is in the water and you don't have a trailer, tell us. We have trailers to pull boats out and bring them to the shop. See Boat Pickup & Haul-Out.
Buying a boat instead?
If you're calling about a boat you're thinking of buying, ask about a Pre-Purchase Boat Inspection before you hand over any money.
