I would recommend you be there with him when he shows up. Don't bug him w/
a bunch of questions and talk as that will make the time and labor cost go
up. Rather, you want to verify that any parts he swaps are actually bad
and correct the problem.
Replacing a stator without verifying outputs are not there is a definite
sign he is guessing what the problem is.

Problem is I am in Chicago, boat is in Madison, Wisconsin (on lake Mendota).
However, the mechanic has 15 years of experience with Honda engines and has
a very good reputation. Nice of them to come to the dock and fix it there.
It would be a total pain for me to trailer it up to him. Thanks for all the
suggestions and tips.
