Well, we know you never go to a bar to pick up dates. Your two
favourite sexual partners are 'close at hand'.
You're almost correct... just one partner, my wife.
You keep your's close at hand too, right? Your mom. You sick canuck.
Childish name calling........
Calling people names like punk just shows that you are an insecure
person that needs to do such to bolster your failing manhood.
Obviously to some of you there doesn't seem much to life then nasty
attitudes, and some sort of unwarrented vengance.

Jim, did the "new" mechanic feel there was no other engine damage?
Unless the winterizing is already done, I'd still ask them to run a
compression test, to see if a cylinder is low on compression. ie burned
halve, blown head gasket, or even a cracked head.
These engines are pretty tough, but can still be hurt by accessive
heat, and in some cases, it doesn't take much, either.

I went to check on the repairs on my boat this morning, get the winterizing
set up and square away on my bill. The engine was running rough after my
overheating episode this summer. My new mechanic found that the port side
exhaust manifold gaskets had failed due to the overheating and were allowing
water into 2 of the cylinders. They also found that the oil cooler was
leaking and the wrong spark plugs were installed (I had my old marina do a
tune up on the boat last summer).
Every time the *OMC Certified* mechanic at my old marina touched my boat he
screwed something up. First he never replaced the impeller like I asked him
to, saying he checked it and was working fine. Then the boat overheated
because the impeller failed. Then he installed the wrong temperature
thermostat when trying to "fix" the problem, never finding the bad manifold
gasket. Earlier he used the wrong spark plugs during a routine tune-up.
Boy am I glad we switched marinas and now have a good mechanic. ;-)
Wow! Sounds like more bad karma. Hope everything works out for Jim. ;)
I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for
all the reason listed here. Yet, JimH response was his mechanice was an
OMC certified mechanic, and who was I to question his mechanice's
judgment. There is an old expression, "Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool my twice, shame on me". I remember JimH not only getting fooled
over and over again, but being very nasty when I told him him mechanic
was an dumbass whose ignorance was going to cost him money. Some
people wonder why so many bad things happen to them, when to everyone
else it is obvious.
Care to Google up and post (the entire thread) some proof of those
claims Reggie?
You sure seem to worry about what I do with my life. I suggest you try
to get a life of your own so you can stop worrying about mine.
I remember it, also. Your bipolar condition bothering you again, Jim?
So, for you:

Where you stated:
"These folks taking care of my boat are pretty reputable."
And here is the thread where you stick up for your mechanic when Reggie
was trying to tell you you need a new one.
