Re: Spring tune up cost????
I paid $360 plus $100 for a choke solenoid..
heheh, needless to say they didn't rebuild the carbs?
From gathering prices that people pay, I'd say you could drop a grand easy if they rebuild carbs at $100 per carb, water pump, oil change , plugs etc.
I hired one those marine mechanics you see on craigslist who work independantly, the goin rate is around $65 hr.
He came out and we went through the engine top to bottom, I knew nothing about outboards but he showed me everything he did. He spent almost 5 hrs but only charged $180 plus parts. We test ran the engine, seafoamed it too.
He also showed me how to rebuild a carb, I later got 6 carb kits and did it.
If I had to pay a marina I couldn't own a boat.
Thats why we're here.
