Outboard Service

Post by **lobb** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:06 am

I blew the prop in my outboard aboout 3 weeks ago and the service shop (not going to mention any names) had originally promised to have the unit back to me within a week and a half.

I phoned yesterday and was told that it still has not been looked at and won't be for another 3 weeks.

Does anyone know of a reputable service shop to have this looked at? The outboard is about 20 years old, so I know not ever place will look at it.

Thanks!

did you take to a shop outside of manotick?

Nope, it's another shop which will remain nameless as I don't want to spread bad word about them. They are simply swamped with work and I need the motor dealt with by Friday of this week. I was told it was only the prop assembly which needed to be done (a little over $100 work I was told).

I just need the work done before the holidays and summer run out...

You could try Port of Call Marina, they fixed my merc. when my lower end seized, I had it back within a week.
