    Motor repair

    Hello all.
    I have a 2006 Optimax 150hp DFI. I had it out a couple of days ago and I got a continuous alarm. My understanding is that means an overheat. I live in Scottsburg. Could one of you point me to a nearby outboard repair shop? I’d like to keep it less than a 100 miles if possible. North,South,East or West doesn’t matter. Thanks for any help.

    The only problem with them is they were 6 weeks out before they could look at motor. At least this was true a month ago. Of course that is true with a lot of places.
