Alpha 1 is starting to growl. Can anyone recommend a wrench around Chicago/Morris? Anybody have knowledge about a shop in Spring Valley named Time on the Water? We launch in SV a lot but I can't find any info on them.

Re: Boat mechanic near Chicago?

I do not know anyone personally, but I PMed a Mercruiser mechanic I know on another forum. He's been extremely helpful to me and prevented me from buying a money pit earlier this year! I told him you are looking for a mechanic, and here's his reply:

I dont know where he lives, but my shop is about 50 miles east of where he launches. Here is our website: www.southendboatshop.com. It has the address and phone number if he wants to bring it in. I know that we're more reasonably priced than anyone on the water. Our labor rate is $85 per hour. Tell him to give me a call!

If you have the time, you can run your boat up to Lake county. Up here there are several marinas on the change of lakes that service mercruisers.
