About
The Outboard Guy

My name is Ethan Walz. I live in Calvert County, Maryland with my wonderful wife, Erin, our chocolate lab, Poptart, and our cat, Salem. I balance a career as a dedicated career firefighter with owning a boat mechanic business. I’ve learned discipline and problem-solving skills that translate directly to diagnosing and repairing marine engines with precision and care. My commitment to reliability and safety is unwavering, making me a trusted partner both on the water and in the community. I am dedicated to providing great service that helps boaters make informed decisions. I want to ensure that boaters get the most out of their boating experience. I have been working in the maritime industry for almost a decade. I specialize in outboard services. I am certified by Yamaha Outboards in multiple systems, but I am very capable of servicing other brands. I take pride in the services I offer. I am determined to stand by the motto “Grease. Grit. Glory.”
