At Smooth Torque Marine, we know the sea can be unforgiving—one moment you’re cruising, the next your vessel’s submerged. That’s where our marine salvage services come in, led by the expert hands of Glenn Moore. From our base at Mackay Harbour, Queensland, we’re ready to tackle the toughest recoveries with skill and determination. Whether it’s a storm-stricken yacht or a grounded workboat, Smooth Torque Marine brings vessels back from the brink. Here’s how we turn maritime mishaps into triumphs, one salvage at a time.

Salvage: A Race Against the Elements

When a boat goes down, time is the enemy. Water floods engines, corrosion sets in, and valuables slip away. Smooth Torque Marine’s salvage operations are built for speed and precision. Glenn Moore, our lead Diesel Mechanic with Master Level 5 and MED 1 Certifications, is no stranger to the challenge. His career kicked off rebuilding engines, but his knack for problem-solving shines brightest in salvage. From shallow wrecks to deeper recoveries, Glenn assesses the scene—checking hull integrity, engine damage, and environmental risks—then crafts a plan to bring your boat back to the surface.

Our process is hands-on and high-tech. We use specialized equipment like lift bags, pumps, and tow systems to refloat vessels safely. Glenn’s mechanical know-how ensures engines are stabilized post-recovery, preventing further damage. Whether it’s a submerged diesel needing a full teardown or a hull requiring patchwork, we’ve got the skills to restore it. Every salvage is a puzzle, and we love putting the pieces back together.

Why Smooth Torque Stands Out

What makes our salvage service special? It’s the teamwork behind it. Glenn’s the maestro in the field, but co-owner Monique Moore keeps the operation watertight. As head of Marketing and Provisions, she coordinates logistics—securing gear, managing timelines, and keeping you updated. Need parts for repairs post-salvage? Our shop’s stocked with new and used marine components, ready to roll. Together, they turn chaos into order.

We’re not just about lifting boats; we’re about lifting spirits. We know a sunken vessel feels like a lost cause, so we keep you in the loop with clear, honest updates. Our workshop’s a hub of efficiency—clean, organized, and primed to handle everything from light cleaning to heavy rebuilds after a salvage. And with Glenn’s salvage expertise, even waterlogged engines get a second shot at life.

Back on the Water

Salvage isn’t just recovery—it’s redemption. A boat pulled from the depths and restored by Smooth Torque Marine is ready to sail again, stronger than ever. Our clients, from weekend adventurers to commercial operators, trust us to handle their toughest moments. Building on founders Dale and Anne’s legacy, we’re proud to offer a service that’s as resilient as the sea itself.
