What you say, especially for I/Os sounds reasonable, so I called one of

Surprising answer.
I would not do business with that marina.
They do a lot of Grady White and Parker business on the Chesapeake.
TriState Marina. I was a little surprised.

Those are mostly outboards, aren't they. That would explain why they don't
know how to take care of I.O.s

Why the back track on your earlier admonition?



This is getting to be absurd.

Herring as usual does not know what he is talking about, and it is a
good bet that he couldn't even ask his questions properly.

Tri-State does not operate one of the "bigger marinas" in the area. It
has a very small marina, maybe a dozen slips, most reserved for its demo
boats. It has a larger gasoline and diesel pumping service on its
floating docks, and a very narrow boat ramp with a small parking lot.

The organization does operate two dealerships, one in Deale, Md, and the
other across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Deale dealership is one of
the largest in the area, and while none of the lines it sells new now
has an I/0 model, Parker and Grady used to market I/O's and Tri-State
assuredly sold a lot of them. The dealership certainly knows how to
"take care of " an I/O.

Again, I doubt if Herring has the brains to even ask the question
properly, or who to ask, or how to understand the answer.

If Tri-State tips up the I/O's it winterizes, it surely has a specific
reason for doing so.

Personally, I don't think Herring could understand the directions for
playing with a yo-yo.
