After being ripped off by some of these so called machanics I do it myself and will save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. If you need help to do this just have a look on You Tube. Plenty of educational vids there. I now do my 40 and 150 yammies myself easy including changing injectors and so on.
Here's a run down on the past tune ups
40hp 4 st running rought Tune up and new impellor cost $550 from mobile mechanic whom I wont name. Took her for a run..worst than before he touched it. Rang him and the prick wasn't going to come and sort it. After a argument back he come fucks around again with it for a while t5hen tells me she will be right this time. Off for a run..still shit. Gave in then around to another outboard machanic. He has a go..off for a run..still shit. Back we go and this time just ok paid more $$$ [ 350 ] Ok so not happy after a year of putting up with her. In the shop again this time bit of shit in one of the carbys billed $265..would of taken about an hour to fix and that's being liberal. No wonder they are called BOATS [ bring on another thousand ]
F150 yammaha running sick 3500rpm WOT in she goes to well know Rockingham machanics shop. Yep all good now he says as he relieves me of $440. Take her out and you guessed it. Worse than before she went in. Running that bad didn't think she would make it home..Thumded a tow from Little Johnny [ thanks mate ]. Back she goes this time got it right for another $880. Just needed the injectors replaced..fuck um never again do it myself with help from You Tube easier than you think. Just serviced the bottom leg new impellor and housing oil etc. 1 hour job easy as. What would they have ripped me of for there. New filters not long ago all parts from EBay America cheap as chips along side locals. Here's an example F150 impellor kit local..more than $200 EBay $90 delivered. Injectors here shit loads EBay $100 odd delivered for 4 recond with guarantee. Easy to fit. All the above work would be easy to do by most people with a average mechanical mind.
I had my 115 Yamaha serviced and low and behold it gave up the ghost after a 25 min run out from the cut.
Not happy Jan.
I brought a book on Ebay and watched a few video clips on Utube and now I do all my own servicing apart from the electronics, and that's due to not having the gear required.
It's not as hard as I thought it would be and Utube is a god send. I think a few businesses around Perth and else ware would have suffered a loss of some business due to procedures on how to do things being posted on Utube.
Having said that there are some very good outboard mechanics around and they will always get business because they are not the fly by night types of people who are not floor tyles one week outboard gurus the next.
Never had a problem. Explains everything hes done, answers any questions.
Even rang him last sunday when i launched and had no tell tale and was happy to chat. He then told me how to fix it or he would swing past in his travels during the week and fix it free of charge.
