Precision CNC Machining for Marine Teams

Precision CNC machining for marine, shipbuilding, and offshore teams — 316 stainless steel, 5052/5083 marine-grade aluminum, bronze, brass, and titanium. Whether you're building workboats, refitting a yacht, or keeping a commercial fleet running, your parts have to survive salt spray, immersion, vibration, and continuous load. We machine components to ±0.001" tolerances and ship every order with dimensional inspection reports and material certifications.

1

Corrosion-Resistant Materials

We machine 316 stainless, 5052/5083 marine-grade aluminum, bronze, brass C360, and titanium Gr2/Gr5 — all with full material certs and heat lot traceability.

2

Tight Tolerances

We hold ±0.001" on standard features and ±0.0005" on critical shaft journals, coupling bores, and seal surfaces. Every part is CMM verified before shipping.

3

Full Documentation

Dimensional inspection reports, material certs, and process records on every order. Whatever your quality team or surveyor needs for incoming inspection and vessel work.

Built for Marine & Offshore Teams

Saltwater is unforgiving. Your parts need a shop that understands marine materials, tolerances, and documentation.

Saltwater Material Expertise

We machine 316 stainless, marine-grade aluminum, bronze, brass, and titanium — and we'll tell you when a cheaper alloy won't survive your application. Material selection is part of every free DFM review.

CMM Inspection

Every critical dimension is verified on NIST-traceable equipment before shipping. Your receiving team gets a documented inspection report — no guessing, no shortcuts.

Prototype to Production

From a single replacement coupling to production runs of 5,000+. A vessel tied to the dock costs money — most parts ship in 5 to 10 business days, rush orders in 3.

Fast Response

Upload your file and get a response fast. We communicate directly — no layers of sales reps between you and the shop floor. Tell us your deadline and we'll confirm what's possible.

±0.0005" journals

Rudder & Steering Components

Rudder stocks, tiller arms, steering quadrants, pintle and gudgeon hardware, and autopilot brackets. 316 stainless and bronze for parts that live below the waterline.

316 stainless & bronze

Winch & Davit Parts

Winch drums, gypsy heads, drive shafts, gear housings, davit pins, and sheave assemblies. Built for salt spray and sustained load, with proper fits on every rotating interface.

Load-bearing fits

Engine Room Brackets & Mounts

Engine mounts, pump brackets, manifold adapters, heat exchanger end caps, and custom hold-downs in 5052/5083 aluminum and stainless. Machined flat and square so installs go in once.

5052/5083 aluminum

Hatch & Deck Hardware

Hatch dogs and hinges, cleats, chocks, padeyes, stanchion bases, and custom deck fittings. Polished or bead-blasted 316 stainless that holds up topside, season after season.

Topside corrosion resistance

Pump Housings & Seawater Fittings

Raw water pump housings, impeller bodies, strainer caps, through-hull fittings, and corrosion-resistant adapters in bronze, 316 stainless, and titanium for dedicated seawater service.

Every Marine Order Is Inspected & Documented

A part that fails at sea doesn't get a second chance. Every marine order — whether it's one replacement coupling or a production run of deck fittings — goes through CMM inspection in our Union City, CA shop before it ships, and arrives with the paperwork to prove it.

Alloys Built for Seawater

Material choice is the difference between a fitting that lasts a season and one that lasts the life of the vessel. Salt spray, immersion, and galvanic coupling will find every shortcut in your bill of materials.

We machine the full range of marine alloys — and engineering plastics like Delrin, UHMW, and PTFE for sheaves, wear pads, and bushings that need to run dry. Every order ships with mill certs and heat lot traceability, so you know exactly what went in the water.

Not sure which alloy fits your application? Upload your file and ask — the DFM review is free.

5052 / 5083 Marine-Grade Aluminum

The standard for hull-adjacent brackets, consoles, and deck hardware. Lightweight with excellent saltwater corrosion resistance. We also machine 6061 and 7075 for structural parts above the waterline.

316 Stainless Steel

The workhorse of marine hardware. Its molybdenum content resists pitting and crevice corrosion in salt water — the right call for shafts, fasteners, deck fittings, and pump components. 303, 304, and 17-4 PH available for drier duty.

Bronze & Brass C360

Traditional marine alloys for bushings, bearings, propeller hardware, and low-friction wear components. Easy-machining brass C360 for fittings and adapters where the application allows.

Titanium Grade 2 / Grade 5

Effectively immune to seawater corrosion and roughly half the weight of steel. The premium choice for fittings, fasteners, and components in permanent seawater contact where failure is not an option.

Quality. Documentation. Durability.

Marine parts demand more than good machining. Here is what you get on every order.
