Marine technician jobs lake Ozark
I was just looking at marine technician jobs in lake Ozarks and see the wages are super low at around $25/hour max. I live in Canada and was just googleing for shiz and giggles that would be hard to live off. Is that the average wage for a tech in the USA.

$25 was pretty good, this thread started at $15-20 an hour (at the biggest boat dealership on the lake)

Thanks for the link very interesting, I find that appalling that a factory trained tech would be payed so little money or maybe there are so many technicians they don't have to pay to well ? On the east coast of Canada it's crazy hard to find any technicians let alone one that is certified!!

Thats 1000 percent KILLS ME and what kind of caliber of a marine tech will sign up for that and what do they expect to be had for a tech. I do not even think a craigslist jack of all trades would sign up for that one. 10 to 20

Similar issue: Got a new BMW, they change the oil every 10K miles under the included maintenance. I think that is too much on a high HP, twin turbo motor. I went in at 5K and was going to have the oil change. Order written up, keys handed over and as I was walking away I asked what it was going to cost.......$392. 7 quarts, filter and labor. I asked for a breakdown just to be sure it was right, labor was .75 hour ($255 hr), oil was $19 quart plus tax, shop fees, disposal.
I laughed at the guy and said the "oil change tech" is probably not getting 10% of the labor rate and there is no way I'm paying almost $400 for an oil change. So I ordered the filter wrench, some jack adapters to specifically fit the car and my first oil change was $120 all in. Next time buying just the filter/oil it will be closer to $70. Youtube showed the whole process just in case I was missing something that my GM trucks didn't have. BTW I prefer doing the oil change on the BMW over any other car as the filter is a cartridge that is on top of the motor and is very clean and easy!

The pay sucks. It’s way less than a car tech But what’s even worse is
what the guys building the million plus boats get paid. It’s peanuts. And the turnover is terrible.
