Frontier Marine Service is a mobile marine diesel operation covering Broward and South Palm Beach County. Diagnostics, scheduled maintenance, and pre-purchase vessel inspections, performed at your dock. Caterpillar and Cummins specialists.
Three categories of work, performed dockside: diagnostics, scheduled maintenance, and pre-purchase vessel inspections. Caterpillar and Cummins are the core specialty, with regular work across the major marine diesel platforms found in South Florida.
Hard starts, smoke, overheating, oil consumption, alarm codes, performance loss. Full mechanical and electronic diagnostic workup, on the boat, on the water if needed. Root cause first, not the easy guess.
Engine, transmission, running gear, and supporting systems assessed before you sign. Sea trial diagnostics, compression and blow-by checks, fluid sampling. Documented report for buyers, sellers, surveyors, and insurers.
Full oil and filter change with inspection of belts, hoses, and fluid levels. Performed to manufacturer spec with marine-grade lubricants.
Inspection and replacement of raw water pump impellers, the single most common cause of diesel overheating on the water. Cooling system pressure check included.
Primary and secondary fuel filter replacement with system bleed. Critical maintenance for Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and other common-rail and HEUI fuel systems.
Pencil zincs in heat exchangers, oil coolers, aftercoolers, and transmission coolers. These protect the internal cooling system from galvanic corrosion and are often missed because they sit hidden inside the engine. Underwater zincs (shaft, rudder, hull) referred to a diver.
Coolant, transmission, and hydraulic fluid condition checks. Oil sampling sent to lab on request. Early detection of contamination, wear metals, and coolant intrusion before they become a breakdown offshore.
Annual or hour-based service intervals built around your engine and operating profile. We track service history, anticipate the next interval, and keep your warranty intact.
Built around engine longevity. Whether we are catching a problem early through scheduled maintenance, diagnosing one already showing up, or assessing a vessel before you buy it, every visit is structured to protect the value of your equipment.
