Re: Would the Dealer Charge Labor for Water Testing? (Towing it to the Lake)
Sometimes its the only way to be sure its repaired correctly. Many times they run fine at the shop but running them in actually conditions is the real test. Especially those that run well for a period of time before acting up. Like today, I took a Whaler with a jet drive down to the ramp to check the cooling out. Owner claimed the overheat alarm would sound after a few minutes. Couldn't make it do it at the shop so took it to the ramp and left it on the trailer. Yep, he was right. After about 10 minutes, the alarm sounded. Starboard bank was overheating. Now the hard part is figuring out why.
