Default 1986 merc.

I've got this boat ya see...

she's old, but she's been pretty reliable. It could use some more power and hopefully will get that with some "fall cleaning" it's an 86 60 horse 2-stroke merc and i'm interested in getting serviced throughout including but not limited to oil, lower unit service, plugs, wires, carb setting? I'm sort of lost guys if it were a car I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue but having such good luck out of this rig I want to make sure it stays running good and lives a few more years. Once it does, i'm sure I can sway the kiddos to get on dad's side and hint around to momma that dad needs a newer boat ( my five year plan lol). looking for someone that knows older motors and possibly know anyone that can work on trim motors... I drowned mine this spring and had to hard wire the solenoids on a crappy switch for now, hey it works but it would be nice to use the factory controls.

know someone?

In the Lake Charles area...

Thanks,
Rob

He rebuilt my engine for the previous owner. I don't think the problems I have are necessarily related to his work on the rebuild, but he removed the oil injection on my motor and that is what I have an issue with. I have concerns about the rebuild on my motor, specifically the compression, but the things on my oil injection I don't think are correct are common to all oil injected motors.

Thanks fellas. Looking to bring it in a month or two, figured I'd hit the boards until then...
