Anyone know of a Yamaha outboard mechanic

[John Thompson]

Who does work on the side. Trying to teach my step son (he's 14) to get the boat on the trailer and he hit bottom quite a bit. The prop is pretty banged up and I'd like to have the lower unit checked. I have been enquiring at marina's and the labour rate is really high! It's a 25 horse.

I know, stupid me, I thought he was ready and I was in the van and couldn't hear him.

Any help appreciated.

I think CP marine out in Carelton Place might be your best bet.

No experience with them first hand, so I cannot comment.

And, does anyone know if Laurentian is an autorized Yammy dealer? I personally like to give the site sponsors first kick at the can.

Good luck.

(And for what it is worth, I've got a 14 year old who drives my lawn tractor like he's in the Indy. I keep my smaller kids and pets indoors. Sometimes it is just better to close your eyes and sign the checks. )

Don't bother messing around. Call C.P Marine (257-1772). Their senior mechanic has 25-30 years experience on Yamaha motors. They are also quick and reasonably priced. They even fixed up my old 25hp Johnson this year.

Thanks for the info and I will take your advice. Off to CP Marine (well, sometime this winter when I can afford it!)
