FLORIDA MARINE BUSINESS WORKFLOW
Stop tying up a technician on mystery-part searches.
PartWake helps Florida boat repair shops research discontinued, obsolete, renumbered, broken, and unidentified marine parts—so skilled employees can stay focused on diagnosis, repair, and billable work.
The expensive part is often the search
A boat may occupy a service bay while someone searches old catalogs, image results, manufacturer archives, forum posts, superseded numbers, and distributor listings. PartWake turns the available evidence into a documented research path: what the part may be, why the evidence supports it, what changed, and what still must be verified.
Built for the evidence shops already have
- Photos of the complete part, markings, damage, mounting face, and installation area.
- Partial, obsolete, distributor, OEM, casting, or service-kit numbers.
- Boat manufacturer, model, year, system, engine, and location context.
- Measurements, fastener spacing, thread details, voltage, material, and connections.
- Broken pieces or an empty mounting location when the original part is missing.
What your team receives
- A clearly stated confidence level: Verified, Probable, Candidate, or Unresolved.
- Manufacturer, family, and historical-identity evidence when supportable.
- Part-number, supersession, and replacement leads with cited sources.
- Contradictions, open questions, and the exact fitment checks still required.
- A saved case and report that can remain organized with the customer craft in your Boathouse.
Where PartWake saves shop time
Use it when a normal distributor lookup ends, when the label is damaged, when a boat builder no longer supports the model, when an old number returns conflicting results, or when the original component is gone. PartWake is especially useful before assigning more technician time to a search that may require cross-referencing multiple generations of records.

Common questions
Does PartWake sell or install parts?
No. PartWake provides research assistance. Your shop remains responsible for purchasing, fitment, installation, and professional verification.
What if the evidence is inconclusive?
PartWake does not substitute a guess. The report states what is supported, what remains unresolved, and which evidence could move the case forward.
Can several employees use one account?
Fleet includes up to three named authorized users. Shop is designed for one authorized account managing regular customer research.
