Ok I have a 1998 175 Mariner EFI that has 5 cylinders@155 psi and 1@95. I need a mechanic that will hone that one cylinder and replace that one piston/rings. I have called all the shops in the Tulsa area and keep getting the same answer a complete rebuild at $4,000 or more or they won't touch it. Does anyone someone that might do this work for me? At this point I will take it anywhere in the state to save three grand.
If you happen to know someone would you please pm me their contact info.

Call James at A1 in Grove. I think he might help you out.
Although, you prob wont/might not get any sort of warranty. If i was doing the work, i couldnt offer one.

Btw....how much do you know about this motor? 155 is very strong for a "stock" motor.
Did you try Bob Harter? Best Merc mechanic in Tulsa area
Sorry that was a error it say 5@11 5psi and 1@95
I have talked to Mr Harter he made up a gallon of his "secret sauce" to decarb a motor. All the cylinders came up 5psi but, that one weak one is still low. He wouldn't be able to work on it for quite some time busy man.
Which cylinder had the 95?
