About us
About Us – Outboard Repower Shop
Bluey’s Engine Shop Pty Ltd is a trusted Australian family-owned business specialising in high-quality used outboard motors and imported JDM engines. Located in Warragul, Victoria, we have built a strong reputation for supplying reliable, affordable, and thoroughly tested engines to boat owners, fishermen, mechanics, and performance enthusiasts across Australia.
Our Story
Established with a passion for engines and the marine industry, Bluey’s Engine Shop was founded on the simple principle of delivering honest value and dependable products. What started as a small yard dealing in quality used outboards has grown into a well-respected supplier of both marine and automotive Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) engines.
With over 15 years of combined experience in the engine industry, our team carefully sources, inspects, and tests every engine that leaves our workshop. We understand how important reliability is — whether you’re out on the water or working on a performance project.
What We Specialise In
- Used Outboard Motors – A wide range of serviced 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards from leading brands including Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, and Johnson.
- JDM Engines – Low-mileage, high-performance Japanese engines perfect for engine swaps, rebuilds, and upgrades (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi and more).
- Full import, inspection, compression testing, and preparation of every engine before sale.
