    Perhaps not, but that's still way too high.

    I did all but the water pump in mine for less then $200, and that's using synthetic oil.

    Am in year 2 of 5 year warranty or I would do at least half the service...dealer has A+ rep so if I ever have a warranty claim...no problem...
    for many years I had an 1984 115hp and did plugs/foot oil myself...those engines were bullet proof so even the water pump lasted and lasted.
