Describe the problem in your own words. FixMyBoat gives you a clear, systematic plan to fix it yourself, step by step — and only points you to a local professional if you'd rather not, or the job genuinely calls for one.
Likely cause: Starter motor solenoid — a worn contact.
A clear, step-by-step guided fix — no professional needed yet.
No manuals, no forums, no guessing which YouTube video applies to your boat.
Tell it what's happening, in plain language — the way you'd explain it to a mechanic on the phone.
Once it knows the cause, you get a real step-by-step repair plan — written for the job in front of you, not a generic manual.
Prefer not to tackle it yourself, or the job genuinely needs a professional? It hands you straight to a trusted local technician — not a search engine.
Every diagnosis runs through four safety tiers, quietly, in the background — so the app never talks you into something dangerous.
Worth noting. Keep going.
One simple step first — then continue safely.
Stop using it. Time to call a professional.
Immediate danger. Full emergency guidance, instantly.
FixMyBoat isn't just a fix for today's problem. Use it enough times and you start recognising the patterns yourself — what a failing bilge pump sounds like, what a starved engine feels like.
A year of that costs less than a single hour of a professional's time.
Free for everyone during testing. €49.99/year is the anticipated price once testing ends.

No. FixMyBoat always gives you the systematic DIY fix first, but the choice is entirely yours — if you'd rather not tackle it, you can go straight to a trusted local technician instead.
You're never stuck. If the guided fix doesn't resolve it, FixMyBoat connects you with a local professional who already knows what's been tried, so you're not starting the explanation from scratch.
Every diagnosis runs through four built-in safety tiers. If a problem could be dangerous, FixMyBoat stops the DIY guidance immediately and tells you to call a professional — it never talks you into something risky to save you a call-out.
No. You describe what's happening in plain language, the way you'd explain it to a mechanic on the phone. FixMyBoat asks the follow-up questions and does the technical thinking.
17 systems in total — engine, propulsion, electrical, freshwater, generator, watermaker, rigging, steering, navigation electronics, gas, and more.
Only from real, vetted local professionals matched to the actual problem and your area — never a generic directory dump.
