What to Include When Booking a Boat Mechanic in Mackay

When booking a boat mechanic near you in Mackay, send your vessel type and location, the engine or system involved, and a clear description of the work or symptoms. These details give our team a useful starting point to route your enquiry and discuss the next step. Smooth Torque Marine operates from Shed 9 in the Mackay Marina Shipyard, and we aim to reply to enquiries within one business day.

Key takeaways

• Vessel details: Include the vessel type and current location.
• Engine or system: Share the make and model, plus the work you need.
• Fault information: Describe the symptoms and any timing requirements.
• Supporting media: Include relevant photos or video if available.

Boat mechanic booking checklist

Include what you know. If a detail isn’t available, say so and send the rest.

Information	What to include	How it helps us
Your vessel	Name, make and model, type and approximate length	Helps us understand the vessel and direct your enquiry to the right person
Where it’s located	Current marina, berth or other location; whether the vessel can be moved	Helps us plan the right workshop or attendance next step
Engine or system	Make and model, serial number if available, engine hours if relevant	Helps us identify the platform and relevant service team
The work you need	Scheduled service, fault assessment, repair, electrical installation or propulsion project	Helps us route the request to the team that handles that service
What you’ve noticed	When the issue began, what changed, alarms or fault codes, and recent work	Helps us understand the problem before discussing next steps
Timing	When the vessel is available and any departure, charter or operating deadline	Helps us discuss a suitable booking window
Photos or video	If available, a clear image of visible damage, an alarm display or a short clip that shows the issue	Can help us understand what you’re describing; the enquiry form doesn’t accept attachments, so email them to info@smoothtorque.au

For a fault, describe what you observed rather than guessing at the cause. For scheduled work, include the engine hours and last known service date if you have them. If you’re unsure whether the request is a service, repair or installation, tell us the outcome you need.
