Through-Hull Fitting Inspection & Boat Repair
Through-hull fittings are the most critical plumbing penetrations on any vessel — a failed fitting below the waterline can sink a boat quickly. We inspect every fitting for corrosion, crazing, or thread damage and replace compromised units with marine-grade bronze or reinforced composite alternatives. Our marine repair work covers everything from single fitting swaps to complete plumbing systems overhauls. Serving boat owners from Hobe Sound to Fort Pierce, we carry common fitting sizes on every service call.

We regularly work in Jensen Beach, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Port St. Lucie, and Fort Pierce — covering the full stretch of the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River waterways where boats face year-round saltwater exposure.

Common Signs You Need Marine Plumbing Service
Catching a marine plumbing problem early is far cheaper than dealing with the damage a slow leak or failed fitting can cause. Whether it is a boat repair job or a full system inspection, addressing issues promptly — especially in South Florida's year-round boating season when your boat may sit unattended for days between trips — saves time and money.
Water in the Bilge:
Finding standing water in the bilge after a dry day on the mooring is a clear sign of a plumbing leak somewhere below the waterline. It could be a weeping through-hull, a loose hose clamp, or a failing seacock. Properly maintained plumbing fixtures are the first line of defence against this kind of intrusion.
Reduced Water Pressure:
A sudden drop in cabin freshwater pressure often points to a failing pressure pump, a cracked hose, or a loose fitting in the freshwater circuit. Keeping water systems balanced and properly pressurised is critical; ignoring pressure loss can lead to mold or structural moisture damage inside the hull.
Overheating Engine:
If your engine temperature climbs above normal, a blocked raw-water strainer or a collapsed cooling hose may be starving the system of flow. Marine waste buildup in strainers is a common contributor to restricted flow. Continued operation risks serious engine damage.
Seized or Stiff Seacocks:
A seacock that requires significant force to turn — or won't move at all — is a safety risk. Correct onboard plumbing design ensures every seacock is accessible and operable. In an emergency you need to be able to isolate a through-hull instantly, and a stuck valve can't do that job.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does marine plumbing repair typically cost in Stuart, FL?
Costs vary widely depending on the repair — replacing a single seacock is far less involved than tracing and fixing multiple leaks throughout a freshwater system. Mobile service eliminates haul-out and yard fees, which often makes on-site repairs more affordable overall. Call (772) 403-9110 or use the Get a Free Quote option for an accurate estimate based on your specific situation.
Can you repair a through-hull fitting while the boat is still in the water?
In many cases, yes. We use proper seacock isolation and have the tools to swap out fittings on boats that remain in their slip for the majority of jobs. The exact approach depends on the fitting location and the vessel's draft — we'll assess that when we arrive and let you know the safest plan.
How long does a typical marine plumbing service call take?
Most straightforward jobs — a bilge pump replacement, a raw-water hose swap, or a seacock service — are completed within one to three hours. More complex work like tracing an intermittent freshwater leak or replacing multiple through-hulls may take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start so you can plan your day.
Do you service boats in cities outside Stuart, like Jupiter or Fort Pierce?
Absolutely. We travel throughout Martin County and into neighboring areas including Jupiter, Tequesta, Fort Pierce, and Indiantown. If your boat is docked or stored anywhere in our service area, we'll come to you — just call (772) 403-9110 to schedule.
