Workshop and mobile. Diesel and petrol, inboard, sterndrive and jet ski, from Gold Coast City Marina, Coomera, or by van at your berth.
5.0 From 28 Google reviewsMarine Solutions Australia is a team of marine mechanics and engineers based at Gold Coast City Marina, Coomera. If you are looking for a boat mechanic on the Gold Coast, our mobile marine mechanics come to the vessel at her berth, and the workshop takes the jobs a van cannot.
We diagnose, service and repair diesel and petrol engines, inboard and sterndrive, and jet skis, on recreational and commercial vessels from trailer boats to superyachts. To book a mechanic, call MSA on 07 5612 7161 or email sales@marinesolutions.au. ABN 18 657 971 438.
What you get that a one-van operator cannot offer is depth. The mechanic who opens the engine hatch works alongside hydraulics, electrical and generator engineers, with a fabrication workshop and a parts showroom at the same address. When the fault turns out to be a charging problem or a steering ram rather than the engine, it stays one job with one quote.
For how the three drive types differ in servicing and what each asks of you in salt water, read our inboard, outboard or sterndrive guide.
Most calls start with a symptom, not a part number. These are the jobs behind them.
Hard starting, overheating, smoke, loss of power, alarms. We find the cause before anyone quotes a repair, and you get the finding in writing.
Fuel systems, injectors, turbochargers, cooling circuits, heat exchangers and exhaust on Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Cummins, Caterpillar, Scania and other major brands.
Servicing, fault-finding and repairs on sterndrives and jet skis, from water pumps and gear oil to electrical faults.
Oil and filters, fuel filters, impellers, belts and anodes to the engine maker's schedule, logged so the next service is a known date.
Hydraulic steering, engine controls, shafts, couplings and seals. The parts between the engine and the water.
If the engine is past economic repair we will say so, and cost a replacement against the rebuild so the decision is yours.
The same visit can take in the generator, the air conditioning or the anchor winch. For everything the workshop does beyond engines, see our marine engineering services.
Need a marine mechanic?
Tell us the vessel, the engine and what she's doing. We'll tell you whether it's a van job or one for the workshop.
Most engine work happens aboard. The van carries the tools and the common parts; the workshop covers what a van cannot.
Diagnostics, servicing and most repairs are carried out aboard, with the vessel staying where she is. The van carries the tools and the common parts.
The workshop covers what a van cannot. Injectors, pumps, rams and machined parts go back to the bench at Shop 34, 76-84 Waterway Drive, Gold Coast City Marina, Coomera QLD 4209.
Tell us the vessel, the engine, where she is lying and what she is doing. A photo of the engine plate helps.
A mechanic attends, finds the cause and reports what was found, with photos.
Itemised parts and labour, approved by you before any repair work begins.
Aboard where possible, in the workshop where not. If we find more once it is open, you hear before we go further.
Engine run and checked, what was done recorded against the vessel, and the next service date noted.
I was introduced to Stewart by a professional colleague — they said if you need it done, Stewart will get it sorted. Talk about a hands-off experience: Stewart and his team listened to my issues then responded quickly with estimates and a plan.

Marine Solutions Australia has marine mechanics based at Gold Coast City Marina, Coomera, with mobile vans that work berths, marinas and hardstands across the Gold Coast. Call 07 5612 7161 with the vessel, the engine and where she is lying, and we'll tell you whether it is a van job or one for the workshop.
Yes. Most diagnostics, servicing and repairs are done aboard, wherever the vessel is berthed on the Gold Coast and through South East Queensland. Work that needs a lift, a press or the workshop bench comes back to our workshop at Gold Coast City Marina, and we coordinate haul-out through the marina shipyard when the job is below the waterline.
Diesel and petrol, inboard and sterndrive, plus jet skis. We don't service outboards. The engines we see most are Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Cummins, Caterpillar, Scania and Yamaha, and we service and repair the other major marine engine brands alongside them. Tell us the make, model and hours and we'll confirm before we book the job.
It depends on the engine, the fault and how the vessel is accessed, so we don't publish a rate card. Diagnosis comes first, then a written, itemised quote before any repair work begins, so you approve the cost before it is spent.
If the vessel is disabled or taking on water, call 07 5612 7161 and say so: breakdowns are triaged ahead of booked work, and our emergency support page explains how that runs. For anything that can wait, we'll give you the first available date when you call.
On a small vessel the two words describe the same person: someone who services and repairs the engine. On larger vessels the engine is one system among many, and the fault is as likely to sit in the hydraulics, the electrics or the generator. Our team covers all of those under one roof, so the mechanic who finds the problem is not handing it to another company to fix.

The vessel, the engine and where she's lying are all we need to start. Diagnosis first, then a written quote.
