Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Very helpful and actually listen to your questions and offer great advice/ tips.
Ben was very helpful and knowledgeable and great to talk to when it came to all of our questions. This time around was gauges and selecting the optimal propeller to get maximum performance out of our boat. One of they few places left that actually care about customer service, someone saying hello and asking if they can help as soon as you walk through the door.
Dont waste your time with the bigger marinas where all they care about is getting you to open up your

So I endorsed Hamer Bay Marine more or less as a courtesy as I knew the owner, since retired, and respected him. However, I just had one of the worst service experiences in my life over a simple repair to an Evinrude 9.9 hp motor that I dropped off for repairs last September. I only just got it back, June 22, after many phone calls that were never returned. I finally blew up at some poor woman at the end of the line and then was called back.I don't know why I was treated so badly but I don't want anyone else to experience that kind of "service"

I was speaking to Terry from parts I believe about a power steering issue and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience. He helped me out towards a repair path and added info on problem areas, design recalls etc. This group definitely are professional, honest and know what they are doing. I have also ordered parts from them in the past that arrived quickly.

Ben has helped me out with great advice, service, and parts for the projects I have taken on. The staff at Hamer Bay Marine have gone above and beyond, for small orders that didn't bring a lot of monetary value. Great place to deal with!!!
