Starting with one star and will update when progress is made…read more K&C has a nice clean shop, the employees are very nice and friendly. How ever this is about an ongoing problem I am dealing with since the installation of my Yanmar 4LV 250 Diesel with ZT 370 out drive. On the first sea trial I was told that the engine has noise and vibration at idle, I accepted that and proceeded with the sea trial noticing that the engine has noise and vibration when turning left but the noise and vibration is non existent when going straight or turning right. As I have gotten familiar with the engine and drive I've noticed that the rough idle and noise / vibration are very different things that only occur when turning left in forward or reverse at low rpm. I had 2 separate sea trials. First sea trial with Colleen confirmed there is an alignment issue. I took the boat to their shop on a Friday and was called a few hours later to pick up the boat. No work was performed to check the alignment, they purged the power steering pump which had no affect on the noise and vibration and they adjusted the engine height at the motor mounts. I was told when picking up the boat that there is no way the alignment could be a problem as engine and drive bolt up together. If there is no possibility of an alignment problem why does Yanmar recommend having the alignment checked annually and at every 100 hours? Second sea trial with Paul, confirmed there is noise and vibration only when turning left at and above idle. He called the technical support manager at Boatswains locker and explained to me that the noise and vibration is from gear chatter because the amount of torque engine produces. BS. I spoke to the Tech support manager and confirmed that it is an alignment problem. Gear noise would occur if the boat is out of the water with engine running because there is no load on the propeller and gear train. I have also spoken to another Yanmar dealer that confirmed that it is an alignment problem that needs to be addressed by the company that installed the engine. As of 8/29/2025 nothing has been resolved, they will discuss the problem with Boatswains locker and get back to me. Hopefully sooner than later. Like Johann G, I'm waiting for a call from Tyler to see what their plan of action is. And I have the invoice that is billed for their first sea trial and engine alignment that never happened. Up date coming as soon as I hear something. P.S. Engine is quieter, more fuel efficient and powerful than my old Volvo 230 hp and the drive with counter rotating props has much better response than the 290Dp drive.

I already had some parts on the way, though their expertise was able to diagnose our very difficult issue very quickly. Knowledgeable staff, caring & fair in all their dealings. Great company!

I believe his name was Alex. He took the time to text me a parts diagram to make sure we were talking about the same part for the correct year motor. He indeed identified the correct part and advised me he had one in stock. unlike past experiences where the guy in the parts department would tell you bring in the old part so they can match it up. What a disservice and waste of time. I went in and Alex had the part waiting. Please pay this guy properly so you won't have to hire donkeys anymore...

We got a re-power (new motor) through him. While we had multiple quotes from shops all over the island some being way cheaper with rebates we decided to come back and spend the money with Paul as his work is outstanding. He's very honest trustworthy and we will continue to support our local business' in the area. We always bring our boat here for any type of work, diagnosis, repairs, upgrades etc. One of the plus things after the new motor is that he wanted us to take our boat out for a water test with one of his mechanics to make sure the prop pitch was correct and everything was good to go before letting it go. That right there sealed the deal for us and will always come back and reccomend Paul.

The service call was originally for my sport fisher because it was kicking out black smoke. Not only did Billy get that issue resolved, but he took it a step further and tracked down why one engine was using more fuel than the other. Every sound, vibration, and rattle was addressed along the way. His attention to detail was superb, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about getting everything operating exactly as it should. No shortcuts, no rushed work, just genuine dedication to getting every system running smoothly and efficiently. When someone takes this much pride in caring for a vessel, it shows. Smooth sailing ever since. In fact, if any of my vessels on the mainland ever need attention, I'd seriously consider flying Billy out to work on them. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail are worth the trip. Highly recommend.
