Trusted Boat Repair in Clermont, FL

Clermont sits right in the middle of some of the best boating water west of Orlando. Downtown backs up to Lake Minneola, the busiest lake on the Clermont Chain, and a few miles east is Johns Lake on the Winter Garden line, one of the best known bass lakes in Central Florida.

Weekends out here mean pontoons cruising from lake to lake, bass boats running the river between Minneola and Minnehaha, and families tubing behind ski boats all summer. All of that adds up to a lot of engine hours, and hot summer days make every small problem a little worse.

Our shop is in Mount Dora, about 40 minutes from Clermont, and for most jobs we come to you. We work in driveways, at lakefront docks and on boat lifts across Clermont, Minneola, Groveland and Winter Garden. We are family owned, we have more than 35 years in Florida marine repair, and you get a clear quote before we start.

Know Your Waterways

The Clermont Chain and Johns Lake

The Clermont Chain is a string of about a dozen lakes tied together by the Palatlakaha River. Lake Louisa is the biggest at roughly 3,600 acres, followed by Lake Minnehaha and Lake Minneola, and you can run between them without ever pulling the boat out. The water is dark from the cypress trees that line the shore, so it is hard to see what is under you.

Johns Lake covers about 2,580 acres and is split into east and west pools joined by a channel. It has a lot of grass, lily pads and submerged timber, which is great for bass fishing and hard on props and lower units. When the water drops, that channel gets tricky.

Weeds pulled into water intakes are one of the most common reasons we see engines overheat out here, and stump and bottom strikes are a close second. We know these lakes, so we know where to look first.

Common Questions

Boat Repair Questions from Clermont

What Clermont and Winter Garden boat owners ask us most. Have another question? Give us a call.

(352) 408-0929
Do you offer mobile boat repair in Clermont and Winter Garden?
Yes. Most of our jobs in Clermont, Minneola, Groveland and Winter Garden are done right where the boat is kept, whether that is a driveway, a lakefront dock or a boat lift. If a repair needs the shop, we will tell you up front.
How far is your shop from Clermont?
Our shop is in Mount Dora, about 40 minutes from Clermont. For most repairs you will not need to make the drive, because we come to you.
I hit bottom in the Johns Lake channel. What should I check?
Look at the prop for bent or chipped blades and check the skeg and lower unit for cracks. If you feel new vibration or the gear oil looks milky, do not run the boat hard. Water in the lower unit can ruin it quickly, so have it inspected before your next trip.
Why does my outboard overheat on the Clermont Chain?
Usually it is grass or debris blocking the water intake. A worn water pump impeller or a stuck thermostat can also cause it. If the telltale stream gets weak or the alarm goes off, shut the engine down and call us at (352) 408-0929.
What outboard brands do you service in Clermont?
We service Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Suzuki and Tohatsu outboards, plus inboard and sterndrive boats. We carry OEM parts for the most common repairs so many jobs get done in one visit.
How soon can you get to my boat in Clermont?
Most visits are scheduled within a few business days, and Express Care Club members get priority. If your boat is down right before a trip or tournament, call us and we will do our best to get you in sooner.
