toonfish Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looking for a good outboard mechanic in the cities, preferably south of the river that will give me a good rundown on a motor I want to buy. Situation is motor didn't start when I went to look at it. The boat is great and what I want, so if I can make the owner an offer and not have much to fix on the motor, I want to get it done. Motor is a 40 hp Johnson outboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper60103 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yea, I live south of the river too. I would like to know for future reference. What year is the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassNut33 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The best Johnson repair I know of is Maplewood Marine, I know it is not in your neck of the woods. They are good and honest guys, I had some stuff done there on my old boat, they missed diagnosed it the first time and then did not charge me for the actual repair. I think most people would have missed it the first time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
