I took my tracker 2 weeks ago to the shop.they found that the nuetral switch had dislodged from the controls.They fixed it at the tune of $243.00.Which was fine,It worked and that was all that counted at the time.Well,on Sunday I went out to the lake and while trailering the boat,it all happened again.It stalled,then would not start,I knew exactly what it was.So,into the water I went and at least the boat was straight on the trailer.The service guys think that I did something wrong,and they want to charge me again.lol.What do you think I should do?

It is a Mercury 40 hp,QuickSilver 3000 shift control.It is the original control that they put in the boat.When they fixed it,they tightened the loose shifter,they put a new plug in the nuetral button at the bottom,It stuck the fist time out,when I started it,but when I pushed the button in a couple of times it came loose and went into gear.

Then when I got it to the ramp and trailered it is when the switch went out,or whatever happened.
