He told me he wouldnt work on my motor unless I came and tightened the nuts securing some of the wires to the switchbox. he said that one of the wires was wrong and wasnt willing to risk ruining the ignition parts. I think he's just putting me off for people with bigger money. He has a good rep as far as I know, but it seems to me that if you are a mechanic who wants money, you would inquire if fixing the wire problem should go onto the bill. Or, he's just cool enough to give me the chance to avoid being overcharged. I already had a two week wait just to get him to work on it. So my question is this guy just buying time? since I brought the boat in on wnsday and now its friday and I was scheduled two weeks ago. Or,is it legitimate like he doesn't want to turn the key and have to replace a thousand bucks in ignition parts? But he's a mechanic!
