I needed a new impeller and maintenance done on my 2019 four stroke merc 150 out board. The work was completed the next day. As always they did great work.

Great experience! Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They resealed my lower unit and installed a water pump for me in two days and the price was better than expected! Definitely worth the drive from Valley Center!

Have brought my SeaRay 240 a few times now to Sunset Marine and I always receive the expected service. Teddy in service always helps, describes the issue, the reasons and the fix. Will always bring my boat back to Sunset for any work needed.
