Hi Paul,

In the "future" I found a reputable marine mechanic. I allow this man to
work on all my commercial vessels and my personal boat as well. I would
not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He is a mercruiser certified
repair shop, and even has a dyno.

Call him (don't email) for any parts needs you may have. He has quite a
collection of outdrive and engine components. (He once sold me a rebuilt
alpha 1 drive complete for $750.00!)

Frank,
That sucks, sorry to hear it. What would you do in the future? Look for
an outfit that guarantee's it's work. Do any of them do that? I guess suing
this outfit wouldn't be worth it.

I have used Rockey Mountain Engines before. Good warranty!. Never needed
it.

Just make sure you have a GOOD mechanic to install it. I had mech-e-neck
at a local marina screw up a new install so bad the engine blew in 4.3
hours by the hobbs.. Wouldn't warranty his work either.
