Boatyard’s Parts Lookup tool makes it easy to find and add parts from a network of over 180 vendors directly into your inventory and work orders.
It includes a powerful cross-referencing feature, so even if different vendors use different part numbers for the same item, it will still appear in your search results.
This saves your team time and ensures you're always working with accurate, up-to-date pricing and availability.
Note: The Part Lookup tool is an add-on to your Boatyard subscription. If you're interested in enabling this feature, please contact our Customer Success team for more information.
How to Use Parts Lookup
From an Order
Go to the Parts tab within the line item on your work order.
Enter the part number you're looking for.
Boatyard will first search your existing inventory. If the part isn’t found, click the Lookup Part link.
You’ll see a list of vendors who carry that part, along with their cost and recommended retail prices.
Click the Import Part icon next to the part you want to use. This will:
Add the part to your work order.
Add the part to your inventory.
You can adjust the cost and price if needed before saving.
From Your Inventory
Navigate to Parts > Inventory.
Click + New Part.
Search for the part number. If you've already added it from one vendor, it won't show up in the lookup results.
To add a the part from a different vendor, simply search and select from the available options.
Click Import to add the selected parts to your inventory.
7 Vendors with Automatic Parts Data Updates
If you are paying for PartsLookup, you'll also benefit from automatic parts pricing updates! This is a great way to keep your inventory prices accurate from some of the most commonly used marine parts vendors around.
The vendors whose parts will be automatically updated include:
Donovan
Honda
Suzuki
Land n Sea
Kellogg
Yamaha
Mercury
What to expect:
Qty In Stock and Storage Location are never changed by price updates.
Name and description you’ve edited may be overwritten if the vendor updates those fields, though this is uncommon.
Vendor part number changes made on your side will stop that item from receiving automatic updates.
How updates affect orders:
Existing estimates and invoices remain unchanged. Updates never alter prices on orders already created.
Canned services will apply the new pricing on all future orders.
180 Vendors With Supported Data Updates
Boatyard connects to parts information and pricing from 180 vendors.
While we update the pricing for these vendors as soon as we receive it, we cannot guarantee that it is the most up to date pricing data. Please always check pricing directly provided to you from the vendor before adding a part to your quote.
A list of our included vendors and the most recent update date is linked at the bottom of this article.
Additional Vendors in PartsLookup
You will see a total of over 400 vendors available in PartsLookup, but not all of them are supported in Boatyard.
Our tool is designed to help you find ALL vendors who carry a particular part, even if it is a vendor where we do not actively receiving parts data.
Please be sure to always check your own pricing data before issuing an estimate or invoice to ensure accuracy.
