Free Boat Mechanic
Service Agreement
One faulty seal or a missed torque spec can send a hundred-grand center console to the bottom of the lake and your bank account to zero. Without a signed paper, you're one 'he-said, she-said' away from a lawsuit that'll seize your tools and your truck.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a strict 'Possessory Lien' clause so you can legally hold the vessel until the final invoice is paid in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Boat Mechanic, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I find more rot or engine damage once I start tearing things down?
You stop the clock immediately and use a 'Change Order' form to document the new scope; never spend your own time or money on 'extra' repairs until the client signs for the new price.
The owner wants to supply their own cheap parts from the internet—should I let them?
If you do, your agreement better state that you offer zero warranty on client-provided gear, ensuring you don't eat the labor costs when their bargain-bin starter motor dies in a week.
How do I deal with a client who keeps calling for 'status updates' every two hours?
Define 'Communication Milestones' in your contract so the client knows they'll get a report at teardown and completion, keeping them out of your hair so you can actually get the work done.
