cant recommend anyone but....
as far as I know, it's just about changing water pump impeller, oils, and filters so its pretty easy DIY stuff unless there is more to it then that |

I have heard different opinions about DHP. I have had okay dealings with them and others were great. They re-sleeved my Tohatsu about 2 years ago. Only bad thing I would have to say is time. Not sure how long it would take them. But they are local, and do good work.

I know Damon (owner of DHP) quite well. He has always been polite, truthful, ready and eager to help, everything a person could ask for.
As for the time frame, everyone is backed up right now. We have fewer and fewer honest folks to service outboards along with a growing number of the public boating, that causes backups. Call Damon and ask, he will give you an honest answer, as will Lake Area. I talked to Gerald at Lake Area yesterday, he stated they were 2 weeks on service work. As stated above, yearly maintenance is usually oil and filter changed, lower unit lube changed, water pump, MAYBE check the valve adjustments. D |

thanks for the info. I'm going to give him a call. Lake Area told me they wouldn't service a honda, which i expected.

I thought that too. There is one in Beaumont that i'll go to if i can't find a place im comfortable with locally. But i bet i won't have to make that drive.
