Understood. But since this is the first time they have been there in 50 years who knows if, or when, they'll be back. Shawn
Why isn't the shop that screwed it up covering the repair?
Remember when you rebuild it, it will need to be done to marine specs and not auto....like brass freeze/soft plugs and not steel.
Well that sucks.... I know a lot of boaters use Michigan Motorz. http://www.michiganmotorz.com/marine-engines-c-31.html I've only heard good...
How far of a drive would that be for you?
