Marine Specialties Boat Service & Repair – Northern Nevada’s Trusted Marine Experts

Welcome to the Marine Specialties Service Department, where keeping your boat in peak condition is our top priority. We know that owning a boat is all about fun on the water, but it also comes with the responsibility of regular maintenance. That’s why we proudly offer expert boat repairs and service for Nautique, Sanger, Barletta Pontoons, and many other boat brands up to 20 years old.

Expert Boat Maintenance & Repairs

Our factory-trained technicians specialize in preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs, helping you avoid costly breakdowns and unexpected downtime. Whether you need a 25-hour service, annual service, impeller replacement, full engine diagnostics, or even a new engine installation, we complete repairs efficiently and effectively so you can spend less time in the shop and more time on the water.

As an authorized dealer for Nautique, Sanger, and Barletta, we perform warranty repairs on the boats we sell. If you purchased a Nautique, Sanger, or Barletta from us and need warranty service, we will handle the repair process for you.

Preventative Maintenance – Protect Your Investment

✔ Trailer Inspections & Service – Keep your boat trailer safe & road-ready
✔ Maintenance Inspection – Performed on all Summer Preps to check critical systems and catch problems before you’re on the water

By staying on top of these essential maintenance steps, you can ensure smooth operation, improved fuel efficiency, and fewer unexpected breakdowns.

Seasonal Services – Summer Prep & Winterization

NOTICE FOR OUTBOARD ENGINE CUSTOMERS

At this time, Marine Specialties does not provide service or repairs for outboard engines (with the exception of Yamaha outboards on Barletta Pontoons purchased from Marine Specialties). However, we’re happy to assist you in finding a qualified outboard service provider in your area.

If you’re performing your own outboard repairs, our Parts Department may have what you need. We stock select older outboard engine parts, and if we don’t have it in stock, we can help you locate the right parts for your specific model. Submit a request through our Parts Request Page, and we’ll do our best to assist you.
