Safety-critical work — get a professional

Always verify with a certified marine mechanic before performing repairs involving:

Emergencies

If you are on the water and dealing with a fire, fuel leak, sinking, carbon-monoxide concern, or any other emergency: get off the boat, call the U.S. Coast Guard (Channel 16 VHF) or SeaTow / TowBoatUS, and follow their instructions. Do not consult this service.

Marine Mechanic GPT, its operators, and its underlying model providers disclaim all liability for property damage, personal injury, financial loss, or any other consequence arising from use of the service.

By using this service you acknowledge that you understand AI-generated repair guidance carries inherent risk and that you will exercise your own judgment, consult qualified professionals where appropriate, and comply with all applicable laws and manufacturer recommendations.
