Exclamation Merc mechanic North ot Tampa?

I need a good Merc racing mechanic (for 525's) near or North of Tampa.
Innovation been working on these but they are just a bit too far and I have very little time. Any service people around New Port Richey? Clearwater? I need to get something done ASAP.
Thx

You got Piper Marine in West Tampa or if you can make it to St. Pete, you got Pro Marine at the Statement factory.

The problem is, I don't know what needs to be done. All of the sudden the strbrd engine runs rough, dies at idle, spits and sputters and noise, almost whistling sound is evident. I need to read the codes first and see what's going on. Possible valves, rings, or whatever.

Thanks. I know Innovation really well and they know my boat.
I'm pressed for time so for now, I want some one closer and check it out.

You can read your own codes with an LED and a paper clip jumper. If it is an IAC as suggested, which sounds like a real possibility based on past experience, they are easy enough to change yourself.

Is potter to far? I know you would have to drag it over the sky bridge but it's not that bad.
