Riviera Beach owns the county's only deep inlet
Lake Worth Inlet — the Palm Beach Inlet — sits at Riviera Beach and is the reason this city's boat traffic is unlike anywhere else in Palm Beach County. It is jettied, dredged and maintained for commercial traffic into the Port of Palm Beach, which means it does not shoal shut the way the sand inlets north and south of it do. Boats too big for the Boca or Boynton inlets come here instead.
Ship traffic and inlet current add a third item: props and gearcases take a beating from running a loaded boat against 3–4 knots of outgoing tide, and clutch dogs wear from shifting in that current.
Peanut Island, the Blue Heron Bridge, and sand where you least expect it
The inlet is deep, but the water inside it is not uniformly so. Peanut Island's sandbar is one of the busiest weekend raft-ups in the county, and boats spend hours anchored in inches of moving sand with engines trimmed up and occasionally started. Phil Foster Park, under the Blue Heron Bridge, is a heavily used public ramp and one of the best-known shore-dive sites in Florida, which puts a very high volume of trailer boats through a shallow, sandy, current-swept basin.

Next-day window, Saturday coverage, and a written record
Every job produces a photo-documented digital service record — ECU engine hours, part numbers, torque specs, before-and-after photos — emailed and texted before we leave the dock. One technician performs the work, so the file is continuous. How it works covers the process end to end.
