A bit pricy if you ask me, but I am not in the US.
I would do this kind of job for about US$ 100 less. Still a lot of money though.. Trond "Gfretwell" wrote in message ... I just got my boat back from the dealer.

Didn't you ask how much it was going to cost before giving him the OK?

On a new $7,000.00, 4 stroke I bet that is not too much over normal?
Tune up, oil change, service lower end, new impeller............. so with parts and labor that could be normal in 2003 in the US? -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA www.kiene.com "Gfretwell" wrote in message ...

Tune up, oil change, service lower end, new impeller............. so with
parts and labor that could be normal in 2003 in the US? I'm sure it's "normal" but when a "tune up" is simply screwing in 4 spark plugs, The impeller change is 9 bolts and the oil change is dumping out the old, pouring in the new and screwing on a filter $300 seems like a lot of labor. The only reason I went was to have them look at an oil leak and to reconfirm it still "makes oil" for warranty considerations. Their answer to those two things was "we don't know **** about that". At least if this thing blows up sometime between now and March 2007, when the warranty expires (probably around 2500 hours on my current use) I will be on record about the oil problems. |
