Common Small Boat Repair Issues Jensen Beach Boat Repair
Keep Your Boat Safe, Dry, and Weekend-Ready
Whether you’re fishing the flats, cruising the Intracoastal, or heading out to the sandbar, your boat’s small systems need to work—period. And while many repairs seem minor (until they’re not), ignoring the early signs can lead to bigger, more expensive problems.
At Jensen Beach Boat Repair, we specialize in small boat systems—pumps, wiring, audio, lighting, and navigation—and we’ve seen what happens when these systems fail at the worst possible time. Here are 7 common small boat repairs you should never put off—and how we can help fix them fast, right in your driveway.
1. A Bilge Pump That Won’t Shut Off
If your bilge pump runs constantly, even when the boat is dry, it’s likely a stuck float switch or shorted wiring. This can drain your battery—or worse, fail when you really need it. We troubleshoot and replace float switches, relays, and pumps on-site.
2. Trailer Lights That Keep Blowing Out
Faulty grounds, corroded connectors, or exposed wiring can turn towing into a hazard. We rewire trailers, install sealed LED lights, and waterproof your connections to keep things road-legal.
3. No Power to Your Stereo or GPS
Power loss to your marine electronics could mean a blown fuse, loose wire, or outdated switch panel. We test power flow, replace wiring, and install new devices cleanly and safely.
4. Weak or Broken Live Well Pumps
Whether you’re fishing local tournaments or just want to keep your bait alive, a weak pump means dead bait or empty tanks. We install high-efficiency aerator pumps and replace clogged or seized units quickly.
5. Deck or Interior Lighting That’s Flickering or Dead
LED lighting can last years—but only if installed correctly. We replace bad LEDs, rewire corroded connections, and even upgrade your lighting system for better night use or ambiance.
6. No Horn or Navigation Lights? That’s a Ticket Waiting to Happen
These aren’t just for show—they’re required by law. We fix wiring, replace switches, and test all safety systems so you pass inspection and stay visible.
7. A Tangle of Wires Behind the Console
DIY jobs and older boats often come with spaghetti-style wiring. We clean it up, re-label circuits, and ensure everything is safe, accessible, and fused properly.
