What We Do
From emergency repairs to seasonal maintenance, we handle everything your boat needs — right where it lives.
Expert diagnostics and repair for all outboard and inboard engines. We come to your dock — no towing required.
Scheduled tune-ups, oil changes, impeller service, and full winterization to keep your engine running season after season.
Marine electrical diagnostics, wiring, battery systems, bilge pumps, navigation lights, and more.
Why owners stay with us
Diagnosed properly, tested on the water, and explained in plain language — so you know exactly what was wrong, what we did about it, and what your boat needs next.
Who We Are
Public Water Marine is built for owners who want their boat handled properly — and who want to know exactly what was done to it. Every job starts with a real diagnosis instead of a guess, and ends with the boat tested on the water before it goes back in your hands. Owners regularly bring us work another shop could not sort out. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
You hear from us while the work is happening — what we found, what it needs, and what it will cost, with photos as it goes. No service desk, no handoffs: the person who takes your call is the person on your engine.
Two South Carolina shops — Lugoff and Lexington — and the same bench, the same brands and the same standard brought out to your dock. Yamaha and Mercury outboards, MerCruiser sterndrives, Suzuki, and marine electrical.
Exclusive Program
Priority scheduling, discounted labor, seasonal maintenance reminders, and peace of mind all season long.
Memberships run on a signed 12-month agreement — monthly billing is committed for the full year. Annual billing is charged once a year at the discounted rate. Nothing is charged online today — we'll call you to set it up.
Our Work
"Blake was able to diagnose the problem with our two jet skis after we took them to a known dealer in Columbia that had messed them up! He kept us informed… more than we expected but that's service!"
"Blake came out and serviced our Suzuki outboard on Wateree. He has our boat running great just in time for lake season. Highly recommend!"
"I recently had Blake come out for a mobile service on my 90HP Mercury, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish…"
"Wonderful experience. I could not recommend any more highly. If you need service in the area, use these gentlemen; you will be glad you did."
"Excellence at its very best! I HIGHLY recommend Public Water Marine for boat repair. This was the smoothest and easiest process from the initial phone contact to the final drop off."
Tell us what the boat is doing and where it sits. Bring it to Lugoff or Lexington, or we will come to the dock.
