I have a 1994 Four Winns Fling with a Johnson Evinrude / OMC Turbojet engine.<br /><br />I got it last year and it seems to blow an awful lot of white smoke and runs rough. I am not mechanically inclined and past attempts have taught me it is better to leave those things to others more qualified before I muck it up worse. :) <br /><br />I may have to go down that road later though.<br /><br />What I am really hoping for is some assistance in locating someone that will work on this boat for me.<br /><br />I can not find anyone in Phoenix and I have called or been everywhere I could find including the marina at Lake Saguaro. I even contacted Four Winns and they basically said to go buy a book. Ugh.<br /><br />I am not opposed to driving it somewhere to drop off as long as it is within a days drive of the Phoenix area.<br /><br />Thanks for any help you guys can give me. You guys really don't want me to try and work on this things... my posts will be frequent, frantic, and frustrated! :) <br /><br />Thanks much!

Hi Ligge,.....<br /><br />I Can't help you with your Question,.......<br /><br />But,.......<br />I'm Sure that if you post this up in the Jetski forum you'll have Better Luck.......<br /><br />Only because your boat is More of a Glorified Jetski,.. Than a I/O powered boat.............

Or even on the Evin/John forum since it's an OMC powerhead. And your question is powerhead related.<br /><br />If you can start with a compression test that'll tell a lot. A good shop would start there anyway.

Thanks guys, I took the advice and I headed to the PWC area next.<br /><br />I will be cross posted in 15 forums before I get a mechanic! :)

Bombardier Recreational Products, they bought OMC's outboard division, and still sell sterndrive parts as well.
