shopwhile bigger boats such as cabin cruisers and commercial boats,
are powered by inboard diesel or gasoline engines, which are removed
only for major repairs. Most repairs are performed at the docks or
marinas where the boats are kept. Marine mechanics repair and
service the electrical mechanical and hydraulic equipment of
inboard/outboard boats and other watercraft. Marine mechanics also
work on propellers, steering systems, plumbing, fiberglass repair
and other boat components.
