Default Re: Repower Question

A new mechanic may do trick and save you a lot until the head blows.

Best I've seen on Envinrude..... Monmouth Marine on Rte 36 Port Monmouth. He did dozens of Sea Tow boat O/B until Corporate switched us over to Yamahas.

Fixes it right the first time. That's a mechanic!

(ie trolling) Thinking of just biting the bullet for a repower. Any input would be helpful. Getting tired of the constant headache. Am i thinking strait by giving up and putting a new engine on the boat. Hull is in good shape.
Could just buy another used boat for the same or less, but thinking by doing the same thing again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity!

What is your input and suggestions on this. Need a real realiable Marina
Tired of the hacks!
