Repair event cycle times (RECT) at U.S. marine dealerships held relatively steady in April, with the average landing at 41 days.

• This marks a slight four-day improvement from March, continuing a modest downward trend in service cycle times.
• April’s performance keeps overall repair times near recent lows, signaling continued operational efficiency as the industry moves into peak season.

The RECT for the main bottlenecks — warranty coverage and out-of-stock parts — showed a more balanced performance in April.

• Work orders with warranty coverage averaged 71 days, remaining significantly higher than the overall average and continuing to be the primary delay driver.
• Out-of-stock parts work orders averaged 64 days. That is 14 days quicker than in February 2026.
