Outboard repairs
Every make, every model, two stroke and four stroke. If it hangs off a transom, Darren has had one apart.
Bundaberg East, Queensland
Outboards fixed, stripped
and sold for parts.
Darren Bowman has been pulling outboard motors apart in Bundaberg for years. Every make, every model, two stroke and four. If yours needs fixing, the shed is on Kendall Street. If it needs a part, there is a fair chance it is already on the shelf.

All makes
Yamaha, Mercury, Evinrude, Johnson, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda and the rest.
Mobile work
Some jobs are easier done where the boat sits. Ask when you call.
Parts by post
New and used parts go out Australia wide, and further when they have to.
In the workshop
The short answer is usually yes
Repairs, servicing, diagnostics, fitouts, welding, parts. It is one shed and one bloke who has seen most of it before, which is why people ring here after somewhere else has said no.
Servicing and tuning
Routine servicing through to full tune ups, using the computer software that talks to late model engines.
Computer diagnostics
Trouble code reading and electrical fault finding, so the guessing stops before the parts bill starts.
New and used parts
Genuine and aftermarket, for all makes and most models. One of the largest used outboard parts ranges in Queensland.
Boat fitouts
Full fitouts, repowers and the wiring that goes with them, done in the workshop rather than in your driveway.
Aluminium welding
Hulls, transoms, brackets and trailer work. The welder is in the shed, so the job does not get sent away.
Buy and sell
A licensed secondhand dealer, so used outboards, boats and trailers can be bought and sold outright.
Mobile work
Some jobs are easier done where the boat is. Mobile work is part of what Bowman's Marine does, not an add on.
The other half of the business
One of the biggest used outboard parts ranges in Queensland
Bowman's Marine is an outboard wrecker as well as a workshop. That means the shelves carry new and used parts, genuine and aftermarket, for all makes and most models, including a very large range of new and used propellers.
It also means the part for a motor nobody else will touch is often sitting in a tub twenty metres from the bench. Ring or email with the make, the model, the year and the horsepower, and Darren will tell you straight whether he has it.

Who you are dealing with
You ring, Darren answers
Bowman's Marine is Darren Bowman's business. There is no call centre, no service adviser and no one who has to go and ask. The bloke who picks up the phone is the one who will have the cowl off your motor.
It is a Bundaberg business with a long history in the region, and the reviews say the same thing over and over: honest, fair on price, and willing to go out of his way to get someone back on the water. That is a reputation built one motor at a time.

Motors on the bench and on the stands
A rolling mix of jobs in progress and engines looking for a new transom. If something here is what you are after, ring and ask.
Chasing a part for something old?
Wrecked motors are where the rare bits come from. Send the make, model and horsepower and Darren will have a look on the shelf.

Tell Darren what the motor is doing
A phone call is usually quickest, especially if the boat is already on the trailer. For a part, an email with the make, model, year and horsepower saves a lot of back and forth.
Workshop open Monday to Friday, and Saturday mornings.
