Years of experience in outboard installation and marine outboard fit-up services.

Mobile outboard fit-ups across the Redlands, Logan and SE Brisbane. Mercury-certified rigging and fitting at your home, marina or boat ramp.

How your outboard is fitted will determine your experience on the water. At Mike’s Marine, we have years of experience in outboard installation and marine outboard fit-up services, so your boat will be optimally configured before you head out.

A professional marine outboard fit-up will ensure your outboard is level for great steering, balanced for weight distribution, and at the perfect transom height.

An expert outboard installation will give you improved fuel economy, a greater top speed, and the confidence of knowing your equipment is secure.

Why Proper Outboard Fit-Ups Matter

We have seen our fair share of DIY projects over the years, and we like nothing more than a “have a go” attitude from our customers. However, a poorly executed marine outboard fit-up can lead to some very expensive problems.

If the motor is too low in the water, you’ll be dealing with drag and spray. Too high and your propeller will suck air!

A dodgy outboard installation can even cause damage to your hull and/or the engine, and in many instances can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Leave it to our team of professionals to do the heavy lifting so your engine runs longer and your safety equipment works as it should offshore.

Our Outboard Fit-Up Process

We like to make sure that every aspect of every job is accounted for and executed with precision. That’s why our marine outboard fit-up service is detailed yet efficient.

  • Inspection & Consultation – We will evaluate the type of boat, outboard power requirements, and how you intend to use the vessel.
  • Custom Fit Planning – Key steps in this process include taking precise transom measurements and determining the most suitable mounting options for your hull design.
  • Professional Outboard Fit-Up – Our technicians handle every stage of the outboard installation, including squaring, bolting, and connecting wiring, fuel lines, and hydraulic steering systems.
  • Trial Runs & Adjustments – A plug-and-play outboard fit-up isn’t our style. We will take your boat out for a run to assess throttle response and any noticeable vibrations in order to optimise performance.
  • Safe Handover – Your go-ahead to hit the water comes when we are satisfied with the performance. A proper operation and maintenance demonstration, as well as safety guidance, will be provided.
