First of all, the crew on the travel lift were obsessive in positioning the straps where they would not damage my boat. We were right on schedule with the pick, I had the tarps up within an hour or so. And the tarps they provided for dust containment were virtually new, in good shape, easy to handle and ample sized. I was ready to start work by lunch time. I easily completed my haulout within my 5 day schedule, as the yard crew took care of my needs such as moving pads, and prepping for the launch. The yard crew are calm and professional. Of course, you can always with the cost was less. But when I look at the scope of the operation, I am grateful we can haul at all in today's inflated world. A lot of labor went into my haul and launch, plus there is environmental mitigation, and expensive equipment. My haulout went smooth and fast, and I am grateful for that. Aloha, Mark

I normally avoid windward boats because the parts guys that worked there had a lot of attitude…read more However i called in yesterday looking for a part and was pleasantly surprised when the person on the phone was not only nice but knew how to find a not so common part. 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...

The most impressive thing is your boat goes in to be repaired at 8:00am and is usually repaired the right way by 10:00am. Two very knowledgeable mechanics Rod and Jerry take the time to analyze the problem, fix the problem, and educate you. They have taken the time out to give me tips on how to keep my motor running better. My old Evinrude 28spl runs better than brand new. It was awesome that they identified other problems with their years of expertise and knowledge. They had the right parts and their labor rate was fair and reasonable. I am extremely happy that I was referred by other boat mechanics to this business and my boat is running good so that when I take my family and grandchildren out, I know I am returning safely. If you own a boat and there is a problem, please support Rod and Jerry, they are super knowledgeable and friendly and they treat you like family.

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 would definitely recommend Tracy for any work needed on your boat or otherwise!
