With decades of experience behind the business there is no engineering job too big or too small for this crew. Watson Marine Engineering owner Greg Watson has had a passion for boats since a young apprentice in the 60's. Some 50 years on, there is very little he doesn't know about the marine industry.
In 1999, upon the opening of Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard, Greg moved his marine engineering business from Brisbane & has never looked back. Watson Marine now has a team of 10 including Fitter & Turner Tradesmen, Propeller Technicians & Apprentices working on engineering projects throughout South East Queensland & as far as the Whitsunday Islands & Vanuatu.

Watson Marine is proud to offer our high precision range of water lubricated marine rubber bearings, which are designed & manufactured here in Australia. The simplistic but accurate design of these rubber bearings ensures they are a reliable & maintenance free operation.

A seacock generally consists of a ball valve & a skin fitting. Sea cocks are fitted on the hull of a vessel permitting water to flow into the vessel for applications such as cooling the engine, salt water faucet or out of the vessel like a sink drain or toilet. Watson Marine can change leaking, seized, broken or electrolysis damaged sea cocks.

Terrible customer service, exorbitant prices, staff that shout and swear at you... avoid at all costs.
I had my boat out of the water in April, Brad the boat builder made mistakes, then they wanted to charge me for his time fixing the mistakes. The woman in the office threatened me and my boat, stating that they were going to come and rip out the skin fittings, and park their vehicles in front of my boat to prevent it from being put back in the water. She said that " I don't care about people like you" because I have a small boat, said that I was "a joke" . A truly nightmare experience. Unfortunately

We recently had our boat on the slipway at Coomera and needed some small but detailed jobs done. Fortunately we used Watson Marine and I was so impressed with their customer service and attention to detail. Each job was completed within the timeframe I was told and in a more than satisfactory manner. Great work and highly recommended.
