Mechanic has completed all the repairs and after in water test with new trim pump installed, he discovered a small leak.
He said we can use the boat but the more we trim the more it will leak. He also suggested we strap the outdrive up while trailering just to play it safe.
Boat has a MerCruiser 260 w/Alpha outdrive.
He quoted approx $550 for this repair and the lines won't be avail till late August.
First question....Is this a fair price?
Second question...Could this be DIY? I've done a lot of construction work and some minor auto repairs.
Third...He said the pressure is too high to try to do a temp repair, does the line have to be OEM?
