TURNER BOATS — AUTHORIZED DEALER
Darkwater Boats is proud to be an authorized Turner Boats dealer serving the Upper Cumberland and all of Middle Tennessee. Turner builds some of the most capable performance fishing boats on the water today, and the secret is in the hull. Their catamaran design delivers a ride that flat-out handles water differently than anything else in its class — smoother in a chop, more stable on plane, and more confident at speed whether you're running a Tennessee lake or charging across open saltwater. These boats are built for high horsepower, and they put that power to work in a way that has to be felt to be understood. But Turner didn't just build a fast hull and call it a day — they built a serious fishing machine. Thoughtful layouts, smart storage, and features designed by anglers for anglers make these boats just as fishable as they are fast. Whether you're chasing bass in freshwater or running the coast for redfish and flounder, Turner Boats are engineered to perform in both worlds without compromising either. Come see us at Darkwater Boats and let's talk about putting you in one.

100 hr/yearly service
300-HOUR / 3-YEAR SERVICE
If the 100-hour service is routine maintenance, the 300-hour service is a full reset. Performed every three years or 300 hours — whichever comes first — this is a comprehensive top-to-bottom service that covers everything in the annual 100-hour service plus the components that take a longer-term beating. At Darkwater Boats, our 300-hour service includes a complete engine oil and filter change, fuel filter and water-separating fuel filter replacement, gear lube change with new crush washers and drain seals, water pump impeller replacement to make sure your cooling system is moving water the way it should, fresh spark plugs for clean ignition, thermostat replacement to keep your engine running at the right operating temperature, and a full greasing of all fittings throughout the motor. This service is about more than just maintenance — it's about making sure every system on your outboard is dialed in and ready to go. Skipping it doesn't save money. It just moves the expense from a service bill to a repair bill. Let us keep you ahead of it.

WINTERIZATION SERVICE
When the season winds down, the worst thing you can do is tie your boat up and walk away without properly winterizing it. Cold temperatures are hard on engines, cooling systems, and everything in between — and the damage they cause over a winter shows up as a nasty surprise come spring. Darkwater Boats offers full winterization service to get your outboard and boat systems properly prepped for the off-season, and we make it convenient too. We can come to you and perform the service right at your dock, or you can drop your boat off at our shop and we'll take care of everything in-house. When we come to you dockside, we treat your water systems with RV antifreeze to protect them through the cold months. Engine fogging is performed out of the water at our shop, where we can run the service properly and make sure it's done right. We also stabilize the fuel system and perform a full inspection to make sure nothing is going to cause you a headache when you're ready to get back on the water. Don't let a Tennessee winter cost you a motor. Let us button it up right the first time.
Aftermarket installs & upgrades

AFTERMARKET INSTALLS & UPGRADES
At Darkwater Boats, we specialize in professional aftermarket installations that take your boat from the factory floor to fully dialed in. Our team has the hands-on experience to handle the full range of marine electronics — fish finders, GPS units, Garmin LiveScope, sonar systems, and transducer installs including 360-degree imaging setups. We install and wire trolling motors, Power-Pole shallow water anchors, jack plates, bilge pumps, and complete marine lighting systems inside and out. Want a killer stereo setup on the water? We do full marine audio installs too — head units, marine-grade speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers built to handle the elements. If it plugs in, mounts up, or gets wired, we can make it happen. Every install we do is clean, professional, and built to last — proper marine-grade crimps, sealed connections, and tidy wire runs throughout. No shortcuts, no guesswork. Just solid work you can count on every time you leave the ramp.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE / 100-HOUR SERVICE
Keeping your outboard running strong starts with staying on top of your annual maintenance — also known as the 100-hour service. This is a complete fluid and filter refresh on your motor, and it's the single most important thing you can do to protect your investment. At Darkwater Boats, our 100-hour service includes a full engine oil and oil filter change, fuel filter replacement, water-separating fuel filter service, gear lube change with new crush washers and drain seals to keep everything tight and leak-free. We recommend scheduling this service every year, typically in the spring before the season kicks off or in the fall when you're putting the boat away — either way, we'll make sure your motor is ready to run when you need it. Don't wait until something goes wrong. Preventive maintenance is always cheaper than a repair.
