Anyone local to the Batavia area work on engines besides the dealers? I have a spark plug with a bad thread that either needs retapped or insert put in. 250 optimax pro XS

If it were my motor, I would take it to Dixie Marine and let them do the job. I trailered my R91 4 1/2 hours one way to have them do a job that my local dealer had screwed up. It was worth the drive.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
If your close to east Palestine Ohio try the outboard guy, he does good work at a fair price. 330-886-8513
Take it to Dixie Marine in Fairfield. Being it’s a Mercury they have the best Merc tech around Brian Wolfe. Bar none the guy is the best.
Gun Control..... Is hitting your target every time
Its a drive to Dayton but Ed at Miami Valley Marine does great work for less $
I'd have a hard time taking my Pro XS to a guy... Just me I guess... Dan

Ed from Miami Valley Marine is extremely knowledgeable on all makes/models. Performance mercury motors as well. He completely rebuild my friends promax . He is extremely detail oriented and takes zero shortcuts. Zero issues out of the motor to date. He is very personable and is reasonably priced. He has given me lots of free advice on repairs that has kept my boats out of the shop and on the water.
Glad to see others have used Ed. He does great work for less $
Brian Wolf at Dixie is the only Mercury tech that I trust.
