Install engines, prop systems, controls, cages, and hardware so every build is dialed, safe, and reliable.
Wire boats cleanly and safely (switch panels, pumps, lights, accessories) with a focus on reliability and serviceability.
Keep parts organized, stocked, and tracked so production doesn’t stall waiting on the basics.
Capture shop progress, customer stories, and build highlights that show the world what Patriot actually does.
Lead hands-on operator training focused on safety, control, and real-world scenarios for owners and agencies.
