The speed didn't plug. Their make shift repair consisting of a couple zip strips and a splice failed within 2 miles.

I am in and out of boats all day and still am.

Better for me to talk on phone rather to keep writing.

and I will forward my number. Do not have time to text either. but can work and talk on speaker phone.

Wow cant give him ur undivided attn for a lousy phone call to resolve this issue... sure know how to make a customer feel important and appreciated... not

Problem is most marinas are charging 100-130 an hour and paying their help 17 to 20 at best The mechanics don't give a Phuck because they know they are getting the shaft.

See it all the time down here.

Rinse and repeat.

The Sun and syphilis has cooked your Brain.

BUP is just giving advice he is not the one who worked on the boat.

I figured he was joking? Chit like that is what drives away all the good guys from OSO.

BUP gives plenty of free advice around here.

It appears that you may have BUP confused as being the servicing dealer for the original poster (skillets) which doesn't appear to be the case in this situation.

skillets just seems to be wondering if BUP would be willing and able to take some more time out of his normal very busy workday and/or home life to possibly help shine a guiding light as to why the repair already done by another repair shop seems to have cost so much plus find out what exactly should still be done to repair the still leaking cool fuel module unit.

Sure BUP likes to try and help where he can here on OSO and his post count numbers help prove that but he also prefers to mainly communicate via email or phone versus open forum or private messages covering big requests like this one. But you can be rest assured that if skillet was BUP's customer, the boat would be welcomed back by BUP ASAP for proper repairs.

You are 100% correct. BUP hasn't worked on my boat. I asked for his help. Hes def. the man on this forum for answers.

how in hell is 20 or 20 plus an hour getting the shaft , as in work as mechanic ? How about developing a little pride and one small shot of professional attitude + appitude in the biz and or any and all work / not blameing anyone , throwing it out there / in this part of world dealers , shops charge 100 an hour , pure 100 percent profit NOT /
