Hinckley, Legacy and other Picnic Boat Repairs

We are well known for our routine maintenance and repairs to all sorts of picnic boats including Hinckley, Legacy and others. Some owners feel they need to go to a Hinckley yard to get proper service but that is like using a car dealer for maintenance on your car. Our technique is to follow the manual closely and transend recommendations where necessary. These specific brands and others all have inherent problems from time to time as well as the manufacturer's required maintainence requirements.

Hinckley Jet Drive Service

Hinckley Jet Drive Service

Some yards do the minimum maintenance on Jet Drives. We prefer to follow the instructions to the letter to ensure long term life for your Jet Drive.

Rusty Metal Fittings

Rusty Coupling

Not all metal on a boat is stainless — couplings for example, need to be cleaned up and painted from time to time.

Proper Paint Techniques

Hinckley Jet Drive Tunnel Painting

We have seen many jet drives where the intake well is painted with copper paint or not painted at all. We remove the strainer and apply non-metallic paint.



Waste Hose Replacement
