Need your oil changed??? (so to speak)
If you live in the Las Vegas area I'll bring the service to you...
Basic Service:
Change Engine Oil/Filter
Replace Fuel Filter
Change Outdrive Oil
Lube Outdrive U-joint/Spline Shaft
Check Engine Alignment
Check/Service all other fluids
$225...you provide your choice of engine oil, I'll provide the rest.
Other services:
Replace Water Pump Impeller
Change Spark Plugs/Distributor/Rotor
Replace Belts
Replace Batteries
etc..
I'm not a mercruiser mechanic, but being a jet engine mechanic for 20 years and a boat (Hot Boat) owner for the last seven...I think I'm qualified to perform all your basic servicing. Any maintenance I don't feel I'm qualified to perform...I won't do it...
Shoot me an email at troublemaker468@hotmail.com
Thanks....

I think he was thinking that he would bring his boat over the same day, we would sit around in the garage, watch football, drink beer, maybe change oil, talk smack, etc. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/aktion033.gif

Well hell, forget about working on the boats...lets just sit around the garage and drink beer. Last time I drank and worked on projects at the same time I ended up F$%%ing my grout all up...I had to dig it out and start over....

This offer is still open......
I'll be retiring 1 April from the Air Force, so my weekdays are going to be pretty open until I start my new job in May or June.
"Retirement" has such a nice sound to it...too bad I can't retire for real.....

Let's hear it, what did you guys do? Align the drive?
It aligned, drive is on, and going to finish up the water lines this weekend. It was a pain in the ass because of new off shore mounts, and the engine compartment being small, you had to be a contortionist to get to the mounts.
