Trying to find someone that's reliable to do some maintenance/repairs on my Mercruisers. Nothing radical, basic troubleshooting and follow on repairs related to oil coolers and electrical sensors. Someone suggested John's in T.C. and he screwed me this spring and the problems still exist.

We've been happy thus far with Dry Harbour in Charlevoix. Don,in service, has been great helping us get our new-to-us 330SS in shape with trim indicators and battery charger, and he isn't afraid to tell you when you need not do a repair. He mentioned something we need to watch, but gave us a less expensive option that'll avoid a big ticket repair for several years.
If you call, tell him we sent you!

We've also dealt with Torch River Marine and were happy.
Hey Doc, how are you. We knew each other in our previous lives. I think we were in the same line of business.

Lots of issues with either gauges and/or sensors. Also a I'd like to figure out a way around my carburetor bowls evaporating out or draining back and causing long cranking if the boat sits for a few days. Mostly a bunch of stuff I've put off the past couple years and it's all catching up to me now.
