Than fixing the fallen glove compartment / cooler on my Seaswirl..........
would have been having a Dealer fix it.

Than putting a new tach in the PM-2............ would have been letting a
Dealer replace it and therefore near all my wires.

Than re-rigging a Merc to a Jonnyrude equiped hull. (you guessed it)
Letting a Dealer re-rig it.

Buy the book people, then use your head, keep Dennis the Menace from

Absolutely! Same with cars and trucks. If at all possible, I fix it
myself, save for something that requires thousands of dollars of task
specific equipment. Scariest thing for me: quicky lube places. There
are thousands of horror stories about leaving drain plugs out or
loose, not filling with oil, etc. etc.
