The OBR Standard

Standards You Can Count On

Since 1982, Steve Chambless has spent over 40 years building a company that values its employees and its dealers, and producing products that consistently meet the OBR Standard. Though other companies have sporadically popped up attempting to replicate OBR’s model, it has proved challenging to surpass the company that pioneered the industry. Founder of OBR Parts and Marine, Steve Chambless, was the first person to use a boring machine to remanufacture marine parts, and in doing so, created the plate model that is now used on most watercraft-geared boring machines, including those produced by Rottler Manufacturing, the world’s leading CNC machinery provider.

Today, OBR Parts and Marine is the only surviving company that remanufactures outboard motors to provide clients with a dependable, American-built product. The OBR Standard guarantees a comparable, like-new result for a much more competitive price. Beyond superior standards and costs, OBR customers receive a two-year warranty on all powerheads and gearcases, compared to the industry standard of one.

OBR Parts and Marine aims to be a reliable, cost-effective, and more efficient alternative to other OE companies, blowing its competitors out of the water with efficient shipping, extensive stock, competitive pricing, and unmistakable product quality. If you walk into any of our warehouses, you’ll see banners displayed with the words “Not in stock is not an option.” That’s because OBR’s 85,000ft2 of warehouse space is readily stocked with outboard motor parts dating all the way back to the 1990’s. OBR employees are extremely knowledgeable about all parts kept in inventory. With old parts and motors, there’s no handbook, yet most employees know the parts of each model without any type of guide or reference. So, no matter the brand, model, or year of your motor, OBR can likely provide what you need.

Beyond unique product knowledge, OBR provides efficiency. Ordering a brand-new part from an OE manufacturer is great, but sometimes you need to be back in the water in days, not weeks. As a result of the extensive inventory maintained, 99% of orders are shipped the same day that they’re ordered. That means dealers finish jobs faster, and customers get their boats back in the water sooner.
