Mercury Service

[BassNut33]

I bought a new boat a few months ago, a 2001 Alumacraft Bass 166 with a 2002 50 horse Merc on it. In the past I had an older Johnson and always had it serviced at Maplewood Marine. I don't believe they work on Mercs Who does the best work with Mercs. It needs a new prop and general service in the spring.

Rapid Sports Marine in Ham Lake.

My new Merc 4 stroke had an issue at the get go and it had been back to the dealer I purchased my new boat from about 11 times in a year and a half. They could not figure it out.

So, I called LUND and they asked me if I would be willing to take it up to Ham Lake to the dealer there and I said if they can fix it, then yes as it was about 100 miles one way for me.

I called them and took it up the next day and they called back in 2 days and said the boat was done and I have never had another issue with it since,

I know there are some who say that they are a bit spendy but they were the dealer who finally found the gremlin in the motor.

I would go there again in a heartbeat as they do know what they are doing with the Merc motors.

Simply fishing extreme marine in Wyoming without a doubt. Best Merc service you will receive. I have heard horror stories about service at Rapid.

Dennis at Nelson Marine in WBL is really good. Good luck.

What about Hannays on highway 88, I think it is in St Anthony. I have bought a few little things for my boat there, but never have had service done.

Supreme Marine in Minneapolis. Only been there once, but was very pleased with the result and the turnaround time.

My experience with Rapid. bad customer service. Bought a brand new motor from them. Tracked grease all over my carpet, broke a torpedo launcher style rod holder in the back end of my boat interior, promised to take care of it as I was picking the boat up at closing time. Called several times to follow up was given the run around every time. End result, I live three miles from their store and make a point of not doing business with them, ever.

BTW. I've owned five Mercurys since 1985. Always been very happy with the motors.

Thanks for all the info. I think I will try Hannays, I live almost down the street and they have been very nice when I have gone in there.
