Title: I need a boat mechanic....
Post by: snuff630 on September 08, 2009, 05:15:26 PM
Anybody have reccomendations on a good shop thats not to expensive? My boat broke again this weekend in Martinez??? :banghead: I lost oil pressure from 80 psi to 40 psi and have a knocking. As soon as I heard it and saw the guage drop I went back to the launch immediately.
I live in Lake Elsinore area if that helps.

What all are you looking for, the R&R, the engine rebuild ??? For the engine rebuild I highly recommend Dave aka the engine doctor here on the boards

It's easy to r&r the engine, take it to A&D and have Dave work his magic on it. Or you can pay me and I'll take it out & re-install it for you...

My puny little chevy is getting A and D-ized by Dave as well . Straight forward, no BS and YOU WILL get what you pay for. Always remember that when you build a motor that takes a beating like a jet boat motor does. Even an everyday stocker marine motor.

Engine Dr.... shoot me a PM with contact info. I'm not looking to do anything wild, just go through it all and fix it. So far this year since I bought the boat, I've put a new impeller in it and did other minor stuff. The guy who owned it before me didn't take care of it. So it's been a rough season.... :banghead:

Give Mark (76 Nordic) a pm.
I've sent many customers to him over the course of 3o yrs. for R&R Work.. He is exceptional at his work , never had a customer complain about his work. He is also an Engine Machinest...and so knows the ropes... Just a thought...Maybe he can help you as well. Best of luck, David :)
