Motorboats are used for a lot purposes; including fishing, racing, pleasure, and business. And, this means that all of these craft require qualified mechanics that can diagnose and repair. Repair also extends to other areas such as propellers, steering systems, and other necessary equipment on the boat.
As motorboat engine technology evolves, the challenges of the marine mechanic become increasingly complex. It takes a skilled mechanic to determine the source of a break-down problem, and a variety of techniques are used in the process to get watercraft up and running again.

- Visually inspect a boat
- Take motors apart and put them back together again
- Utilize computer testing devices
