It is possible to service and repair most major makes and models of bait boats. In this article, we explore some of the different options available.
Although modern bait boats are well made and some come with multiple year guarantees, sometimes things can go wrong. Many companies now offer a bait boat repair service along with bait boat servicing and upgrades. Regular use can cause electrical issues and water damage is commonplace in some bait boats, with certain models being more prone to damage than others. Prolonged periods of inactivity can also damage your bait boat, especially if it hasn’t been cleaned thoroughly before being put into storage.
It is possible to service and repair most major makes and models, including Angling Technics, Viper, Waverunner, Lakestar and Jabo bait boats.

Hi everyone, I have a bait boat Raptor and I have problem with the right hand side propeller. The motor works fine but the propeller doesn’t spin. I think is something with the axis. The problem is that I can’t split the base from the top due to its been glued and I’m afraid I can damage the body. So I need some professional to do it for me.
Has anyone knows some contacts for a company which is doing bait boat repairs.
Many thanks
