Erik came to the rescue for us on a Saturday. He was honest, diligent, fair, educational and fixed our overheating engine, allowing us to continue on our group trip. He has already been hired for more work by another member of our group who was just as impressed as I was. Thanks for the extra effort, Erik!

Installation of isolation transformer on boat. Erik was very helpful and professional. He is very skilled at marine electrical and everything he did for us looks perfect! I appreciated the detailed invoice listing parts and labor separately also. I would definitely hire him again!

I found Captain Erik by pure luck and am sure glad I did. He was able to get the outboard on my sailboat running great without me having to take it off the boat and lug it to a shop. He not only saved me money, but his prompt service got be me back on the water very quickly. I will definitely recommend his services and will make him my first call next time I need assistance.

Erik was great - came to the rescue on short notice when our prop shaft developed a vigorous drip after being recently repacked and also quickly fixed an automatic bilge pump that we happened to discover wasnt working on the same day. Will definitely be calling him if and when we need help in the future.

TL;DR: informed, skilled, professional, and easy with whom to work.Little Dipper has been consulting on my electric drive installation, specifically reviewing my schematics and installation designs. Since I am ultimately responsible for this install, I have been insisting on doing all the work myself. At every turn, LDMS has consulted on my schematics, component selection, implementation; he offered feedback and constructive suggestions. Every interaction with Eric has been pleasant, helpful, and educational.When my installation ran into a structural blocking issue caused by the original design of the boat, I required a tow to Port Townsend Boat Haven, 60 miles away. I have a Tow Boat Gold membership which would have covered the tow, yet I explicitly chose to use LDMS for the tow and pay out-of-pocket. Eric is just THAT good. My boat needed to get positioned in a slip while awaiting haul-out. Erics towing technique is precise, safe, and comfortable. Even other marine professionals came out and remarked on how good Erics tow technique is.When the opportunity arises, I will always go to LDMS first, even if only to get suggestions on which marine contractor I might need for a service they dont handle.

I have worked with Eric multiple times and have always been amazed at his hard work and quality. Recently he had to find a solution to a problem on my boat that had not been solved with multiple tries by someone else. He found the problem, fixed it, and all in a reasonable amount of time. I cannot give a higher review that I do for Little Dipper. Great guy and great work.

I hired Erik and Cy to completely overhaul the electrical on my Newport 30-3 following a small fire in the glow plug circuit. They are both super friendly and I couldnt be more happy with the quality of the work. I sleep much better knowing everything is fused and all my wires are sized properly.

I Eric was very good, and clean and thorough. He was great to work with, and very importantly, listened to me as the vessel owner...Thanks. EricDean.

Erik is a lifesaver. The bilge overflowed in my hauled-out sailboat when I was away - not to mention this was during a cold spell, so everything was frozen solid. Erik was able to visit the boat right away, communicate with the yard, and fix the issue quickly. He communicated with us well every step of the way. It was a huge relief to have his help and expertise when we could not be on site. We would hire him again for any future boat issues.

Erik is a high quality mechanic that has good follow through. At the end of each job he explains and shows all the work performed. I will continue to use Erik.

These guys are really good at what they do. Capt. Eric and crew gave me a tow with lil Tuggy amidst a strong incoming tide with no issues. I have read the other reviews and am not surprised one bit that the Skipper is a proficient Marine Mechanic/Electrician. They are prompt, professional, easy-going and fair. Everybody I know with a watercraft will know about Little Dipper Marine Services. Thank you guys!
