Marine Engine Diagnostics in Sarasota

Pinpoint Problems, Prevent Bigger Repairs

Unexplained engine issues, warning lights, or electrical failures can ruin your time on the water — and lead to costly repairs if left unchecked. At Master Tech Marine, we offer full-service mobile diagnostics to quickly identify what’s going wrong and get it resolved.


Our team brings professional-grade diagnostic tools, advanced training, and real-world experience to every job. Whether your outboard won’t start or you're losing power at speed, we find the cause — fast — and recommend the most effective solution.


We serve Sarasota, Bradenton, and surrounding Gulf Coast areas with accurate, on-location diagnostics for all major marine systems.

Yamaha Outboard Troubleshooting Experts

We specialize in Yamaha outboards and use industry-standard tools to access fault codes, check live engine data, and test sensor functions. This allows us to catch issues before they lead to damage — or misdiagnosis.

What to Expect During a Diagnostic Visit

Symptom review

We’ll ask what you’ve noticed, when it happens, and under what conditions.

System testing

We’ll run a series of tests with diagnostic equipment, including digital code readers, voltage meters, pressure gauges, and more.

Root cause identification

Once we isolate the problem, we’ll explain what’s going on and what repair options are available.

Next-step recommendations

If it’s a quick fix, we may be able to resolve it immediately. If it’s more involved, we’ll schedule repair with clear pricing and no guesswork.

Why Diagnostics Matter

When you know what’s wrong, you can fix only what needs fixing — saving time and money. Accurate diagnostics:

Prevent unnecessary part replacements

Reduce time spent on trial-and-error

Catch problems before they worsen

Give you confidence in the repair plan

Help avoid breakdowns on the water

We don’t guess. We diagnose, explain, and recommend. You stay in control every step of the way.

Mobile Service That Works Around You

Master Tech Marine brings everything to your location — tools, equipment, and expertise. Whether your boat is docked behind your house, parked at a marina, or sitting in your driveway, we can complete diagnostics without moving the vessel.

We also bring a portable lift if needed for under-hull access during mechanical testing or lower unit inspections.
