Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities I have been thinking about this comment, and it seems that is a true shame that this is happening, and have to wonder how many people get out of boating due to the disaster of finding a honest repair facility...

Marco Curious if your more or less undecided on what oil to use now? Lubrication in general (certainly not exclusively to the marine industry) is a subject of great confusion, controversy, and many wives tales PLUS many OEM's, lubrication manufacturers, and those marketing the various products...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities Oh so you were expecting that if they did not actually need to purchase the items for your job that you would not be paying for them LMFAO :D See this is the kind of crap I am talking about. Actually went...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities Hmm maybe should move to MD. Upper Chesapeake looks like a great place to be boating :) Oh and tried to find a mechanic/repair facility again today as I found out my problem with overheating at rpm was due to...

I could try and see if I have an old card, but I think it is Pollizato. I know he moved on, and actually the only one I still know there is Andy. Have not been there is many years also, and likely a bit longer than you were lol. If memory serves me right it was around 2000 when I had this idea...

I heard Andy is still puttin around there, but nothing on Larry in while. Anyone know if Larry is still around?

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities c'mon Jersey guys do I have to move to Kent to get service like that ?

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities Have to admit I never thought of them, and most likely due to their location being on the other side of the river which somehow just made them see far etc, but also must admit that I have met some the guys...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities Have to agree with the above, and remember even with the materials noted a cheap bit is a cheap bit so try to find a quality brand. Also even though I have used a good carbide without the proper equipment...

I found that sometimes the roughness goes away or wears down over time. During a touch up on a seat a few years back I had to use a diff brand because I ran out etc, and the half with the new stuff just did not lay down right, and was noticeably rougher than the other. After drying off a few...

It has been a while since I have been to OBM but as I remember the docks were pretty low so that's not so bad, or as bad as it could have been. I am on the opposite side of the bay down a few miles south, and we had about 3-4 ft above normal, and it either just missed or just made it over the...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities I am pretty sure you meant that in general and to everyone, but yes I have and it was not by choice, but rather by necessity. Everything from raw water pump rebuilds and exhaust replacement to engine removal...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities I am not sure I really want to start a rant on that place, but suffice it to say that is not the first story like that, and I know more than one owner who lost much of their first season with their new boat...

There are differences, but if it is a true truck engine they would not be as different as if it was a auto engine. Also by saying truck I do not mean a silverado either. If it was me and money was tight etc I make sure the bottom end was solid, and then would opt for trying to change out the...

Re: Are there any honest, competent and affordable marine mechanics/repair facilities Have to agree 110% with all of that, and yea it makes me mad as well. I think I do know the cause of the problem though, and it is not a nice thing I am going to say either, but basically it just seems that...
