We recently had the cylinder head on our Suzuki four-stroke outboard get clogged up with salt, and corrosion lead to a water breach. The boat started misfiring at low RPM, and I checked the spark plugs, and we had a spark plug full of water on the middle cylinder and milky oil. I called Tyler at Tri County Mobile Marine and explained the above issue, and based on the make/model and prior experience, he immediately diagnosed the problem over the phone. He put a new cylinder head on for us, and the boat now runs perfectly. From the time we dropped it off, Tyler communicated his progress to us via text and call (communication you don’t see with dealerships), and he finished the project honestly, quickly and at a reasonable cost. He did several oil changes on the boat to ensure all water was out of the engine; he didn’t mention this at pick-up, but I noticed later that he changed all anodes at no extra cost, which is key in saltwater. I feel he went above and beyond, and I’m confident we chose the right marine mechanic. Use Tri County Marine with confidence.

I waited days for my appointment & this guy didn't even try to fix my boat. When I asked him to fix the engine - he shrugged his shoulders & said he didn't know why it was having problems starting & to call him if I have more problems. He left without even trying to fix the problem! I called him back a week ago because engine still wouldn't start - he still hasn't returned my call. Charleston has many boat mechanics - don't waste your time with this guy. He obviously won't stick with you if you have a serious engine problem.

I loathe to share as a female I cannot change a tire on my car much less fix my boat. I especially do not enjoy finding a repair person, b/c it is difficult to trust strangers to do a great job at a fair price. Tyler Teal with Tri-County is the best! Professional, honest, and my boat was fixed in a timely manner for a price that did not destroy my budget! Ladies, Tyler is the man to call if your boat is in need of repair. I will definitely contact him again in the future.

I needed boat repair on my older 1988 Bayliner that has a Cobra 350. I like cheap boats because if they break they are cheaper to fix. Well I called this gentleman and he was just that a professional Gentleman. He quickly diagnosed the alternator was dead and was back in a few hours and had me up and running, plus did a quick service/tune up that made it sound like new. I would definitely recommend Tyler for your Boat needs. Cheers!

I have a boat with an Evinrude motor. I found this company on here this morning and they just left….In an hour they figured out why the motor was running hot, replaced the thermostats and it runs great… Not only did the tech give me free advice on tips to keep the motor in better shape, the repair charge was cheap….AAA company!

This company is impressive! They came out the same day I called and in just a few minutes after arriving said I had a bad starter on my 26ft Crownline. Next day I was back on the water without having to trailer it to a boat yard. They were clean, neat, professional and on time!

This guy Tyler is great, not only did he fix my idle problem, he ran me thru a check list of things I should do to keep the motor ship shape! NO Boat Yard has ever done this!!! I would recomend this guy to anyone who is not happy with dropping off their boat and getting hit with a 500 buck charge for no help, and not much else!
