The boat needed some interior work so after getting most of that done I thought I should run the boat in the driveway before venturing out. Good thing because I couldn't get it started.
I know Lee's is one of the preferred old OB motor mechanics but it's 100 miles each way for me to get to Hyrum.
My question is are there any closer trusted old outboard mechanics that members have used and been happy with.
The motor is a late 80's Mercury. 45hp, 4cyl, 2 stroke w/2 carbs and tiller controls.
It is a pain to drive to Hyrum, but I keep doing it and my old Merc purrs like a kitten. I trust Lee to do it right and not overcharge.
