At Aim Marine we specialize in service. Actually, it is 90% of our business. We offer a large list of services for your marine requirements, with over 35 years of experience servicing the marine industry, there is not much on a marine engine we have not had to service at one time or another.
We also like to try to repair the problem before just replacing parts at the customer’s expense. Unfortunately, there are such problems that do not allow for a simple repair, but we offer great troubleshooting skills to verify this first. Only in complete confidence will we suggest the parts be replaced. This is usually for larger items such as major electrical components, internal engine, and lower unit parts. When an item is a safety or reliability concern, we will always suggest a replacement right away, and with this, you can have complete confidence that when you launch your boat on the weekend, you will have an afternoon of reliable boating.
Our Labor Rate is $150 per hour, and our minimum labor charge is $75.00 per half-hour.
We do not have service tools or diagnostic software for Evinrude, Suzuki, Honda or Yamaha. We are not a dealer for these brands thus we cannot order parts for these brands.
Battery Replacement
Aim Marine sells and installs Deka Marine Batteries and with that, we offer batteries that we use in our own boats. Deka is the largest battery manufacturer in the world and also supply several OEMs with batteries such as Mercury marine. If you have a fuel injected, direct Injected or high output motor then the battery you have installed should be on your Is it OK check-list. Your engine’s computer monitors the battery state of charge and the marine cranking amps required make a difference to how the engine runs and performs. We only use 1000 marine cranking amp starting batteries with most engines larger than 50 hp & any 2 stroke direct injected outboard no matter the manufacturer. Deka batteries stand up they offer a 3 Year warranty and most with a 2 Year direct replacement.
We have batteries for all applications from Trolling Motors deep cycle with large reserve capacity, starting batteries, gel, and AGM batteries and for watercraft applications, before changing a battery we perform a complete charging system analysis to make sure the battery is actually the problem. Low battery voltage can set engine trouble codes and in some cases cause the engine to restrict power, go into limp mode or not start due to low voltage or a wiring issue. Do not delay have your battery and charging system checked by Aim Marine today, we stand behind the batteries that we sell! We sell many batteries in a year and have been approached by several vendors at reduced pricing but continue to sell what we believe in and will only offer the same to our Aim Marine customers.
Battery Service and Replacement starting $300.00 plus tax. Deka 24M7 1000MCA marine cranking battery. Deep cycle or Dual purpose quoted per job.

Shrink Wrapping
Aim Marine offers to shrink wrapping service for your boat, outboard or stern drive (up to 22′). We properly prepare the boat with banding build a strong support structure to prevent damage or collapsing of the shrink wrap from heavy loads. We utilize the proper amount of vents per ft of size to allow for proper airflow in the dry months and we install no damp bags in the boat to draw out moisture and prevent mold or mildew and to keep the interior of your boat smelling fresh.
***2022-2023 Season shrink wrap is 22.00 per foot. All boats must add 2 feet to the length required plus swim platform if applicable.
Banding and preparation of the boat prior to the installation is very important a tight perimeter band around the boat and proper banding under the boat to prevent the perimeter band from riding up the side of the boat in the winter months this will protect the hull of the boat as well as keeping out critters, another factor is the support structure, we use 2×4 supports with protective top and bottom caps that protect the floor or your boat as well as the shrink wrap thus preventing the wrap from tearing under heavy loads. We do everything possible to prevent the poles from poking through the wrap but heavy ice loads work against us and we use 8mm shrink-wrap to combat that as best as possible. 8mm shrink-wrap is more expensive but we do not charge more for it, we just try and do everything we can to protect your investment for you – Our Customer!
Shrink wrap is the best means of protecting your boat from the snow and ice during those long, cold, and windy winter months. It’ll keep your boat warm when the sun shines and dry on even the worst of days.
Please note any boats on-premise in the winter will be wrapped and charges will apply. We require 2 weeks notice in the spring to unwrap and spring commision boat is stored at out location.
