Home / Annual Service
Certified technicians, dockside or at your yard. Full inspection, brake service, fluid change, and a written report you keep on file.
Why it matters
Gyro stabilizers are built to run with very little attention, which is exactly why they get forgotten. The failures we’re called out for are almost never sudden — they’re a cooling restriction, a weeping seal or a tired pump that would have shown up on an inspection the previous fall.
The annual service exists to catch those. It also keeps your service record current, which matters for warranty claims and shows up in the price when you sell the boat.
Scope of work
Every visit follows the same sequence, and every visit ends with a report walked through with you or your captain before we leave the boat.
Bolt torque verified against spec, foundation and bearing surfaces checked for movement, fatigue or working against the structure.
Strainer stripped and cleaned, hoses and fittings inspected along their length, pump assessed for wear, and flow confirmed with the unit under load rather than at idle.
Pressure checked, every fitting inspected for weeping, and the accumulator replaced on models where the service schedule calls for it.
Terminals and connections opened and checked for corrosion, grounds verified, and the stored fault log read and interpreted — including codes that cleared themselves.
Drained, flushed and refilled to specification. We don’t top off and call it serviced.
A dated record for your file listing what was found, what was replaced, and what we’d watch before next season — in language you can act on.

How it works
01
Vessel name, location, model and serial number. Fault codes too, if the display is showing any.
02
A fixed price for the service and the next available window in your area — usually within a business day.
03
In the water, in the slip. Most single-unit services are done in a day and need nothing from you but access and shore power.
04
A written record goes in your file, and we tell you when the next interval falls due so it doesn’t get away from you.
There’s a short list of things owners and captains should do after every trip and every three months. It takes minutes and prevents most of what we get called out for — see the maintenance schedule.
Common questions
Six to eight weeks before your season if you want a specific date. Spring and fall calendars fill first, and a unit that’s down in August is down for the trip you planned around.
Almost never. The annual service is done in the water, in the slip, with shore power available. If we find something during inspection that needs a haul-out, you’ll hear it before we start disassembly, not after.
Most single-unit services are a single day aboard. Twin installations and larger units can run into a second day. We’ll tell you which when we quote it.
We stop and call you with what it is, what it costs and how urgent it is. You decide whether it happens on this visit or the next one. Nothing gets done without your approval.
No, as long as we have access and shore power. But we’d rather walk the report through with you or your captain in person if you can make it — that conversation is where most owners learn something useful about their boat.
We service units of any age, in or out of warranty. If yours is approaching the end of its coverage, ask about extended options while it still qualifies — that window closes on a date, not on a conversation.
