Everything you need to know about ordering parts, shipping engines and working with our team.

Ordering & Availability

How do I know if a part is in stock?: Most listings reflect current warehouse inventory. If you can't find what you need in the catalog, use the Request a Quote form — we'll check the shelves and our sourcing network and get back to you within one business day.
Can I place an order online?: Yes. Add items to your cart and check out directly on the site. For large or freight-only items (complete engines, generators) you can also call us at 954-584-0042 or request a quote and we'll invoice you directly.
Do you sell new or used parts?: Both. We stock new OEM and aftermarket parts alongside inspected, tested used engines, generators and transmissions. Each listing indicates new or used condition.
What information do I need to order the right part?: For engines and major assemblies: make, model, serial number and horsepower rating. For parts: the engine make/model plus the part number if you have it. Not sure? Call us — our team can cross-reference.

Do you ship internationally?: Yes — worldwide. Export packing, crating and freight documentation are handled in-house. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout for standard shipments; for engines and large freight items we'll quote shipping separately.
How are engines and large items shipped?: Engines and generators are palletized or crated and shipped via LTL freight. We'll confirm the freight quote with you before processing. Most domestic freight deliveries take 3–7 business days.
How long does shipping take?: Small parts typically ship within 1–2 business days via UPS or FedEx. Freight items ship within 2–5 business days after payment confirmation. International transit times vary by destination.
Can I pick up my order?: Yes. Local pickup is available at our Fort Lauderdale warehouse (941 SW 21st Terrace) during business hours (Mon–Fri · 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM ET). Select local pickup at checkout or call ahead.

What is your return policy?: New parts may be returned within 30 days in original, uninstalled condition with proof of purchase. Used engines, generators and transmissions are sold as-is and are not returnable, though we stand behind our inspection process. See our full Shipping & Returns policy for details.
Do used engines and generators come with a warranty?: Used units are sold in as-inspected condition. We test and run engines and generators where possible and disclose any known issues. If you have a concern after delivery, call us — we'll work with you to make it right.
What if a part arrives damaged?: Document the damage with photos before signing for delivery, then contact us within 48 hours at info@yachtsanddiesels.com. We'll file the freight claim and arrange a replacement or refund.

Do you do gas-to-diesel repowers?: Yes. Our shop handles complete gas-to-diesel conversions — engine selection, mounts, controls, cooling and exhaust, all sized for your hull. Call or email to schedule a consultation.
Can you rebuild my engine?: Yes. We do in-frame and full rebuilds on marine diesels, bench-tested before they leave the shop. Send us the engine make, model and serial number and we'll give you a rebuild assessment.
Do you offer mechanical service on-site?: Yes, from our Fort Lauderdale shop. We do diagnostics, repairs and routine maintenance. Call 954-584-0042 to schedule.
