Whether you're restoring a classic vessel or upgrading performance components, our experienced team delivers solutions tailored to your vessel’s exact needs.

Custom Stainless Steel Fabrication

We design and fabricate custom marine components including struts, rudders, brackets, and other specialty hardware—all machined and welded in-house using premium stainless steel. Our fabrication services ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting performance, backed by decades of technical expertise.

Advanced CNC Plasma Cutting

Our facility is equipped with a CNC plasma cutter capable of producing custom shapes and high-precision production cuts. This technology allows for consistent, repeatable results on even the most complex parts, supporting both one-off custom pieces and high-volume manufacturing needs.

Comprehensive Rudder Services

  • Rudder Stock Replacement: We manufacture and install new rudder stocks to match OEM specifications or custom upgrades.

  • Rudder Stock Straightening: Skilled technicians restore bent or misaligned rudder shafts using precision alignment tools and procedures.

  • Strut Straightening: Using calibrated jigs and hydraulic systems, we realign struts to factory tolerances, reducing drivetrain vibration and enhancing overall vessel handling.

Bearing Replacement & Alignment

We offer professional replacement of cutless and rudder bearings, including proper alignment checks to minimize shaft wear and reduce operational noise. Our technicians ensure your propulsion system remains in peak condition, extending the life of both components and surrounding hardware.
