Engine Repair

[swilliams]

You guys know anyone who works on evinrude engines in the Montgomery area? I have a 1999 Evinruded 200 Ficht that I need some work on. It is an OMC motor so I wasn't sure.

I went to Evinrude/Bombardier website and they listed Gene's Marine in Clanton, a place in LaGrange and a place in Newnan. Since I work in Montgomery, Gene's would be the most convenient, but was hoping for some input or other options.

I have only had one dealing with Gene's and it was getting a part for a busted axle. They were closing when we got there and opened back up to go get us the parts to fix our axle and offered to come help. I haven't had any experience other than that.

I have someone recommended in Dothan, but would rather keep it close by if possible.

Thanks,

Steve

I have my motor worked on at Gene's in Montgomery. I know two of the mechanics and trust there work. They never done me wrong.

[swilliams]

Thanks, I will give them a call. That would be really good since they are just up the road .

I second Eddie's comment. Gene's in Montgomery has a pretty good service dept. There is a guy nammed John that runs the service dept. that will help you out. Last time I was there he was still there. He comes and goes sometimes but last I heard he is still there. I have heard good and some bad about them but all my dealings have been good and I will keep them as my mechanic until otherwise. Good luck!!!

Gene's

I have used them and the service is good. Montgomery Marine charges to much for me. I need work done on a budget. Took my boat in on Wednesday and they told me it would be done by Sat and I was done in 3 hours!

Gene's...

I've always gotten good service and reasonable pricing there.....I re-powered with my H.O. from there...have had warranty problems and have always got fast service. I have heard good and bad......but I think you will hear that about ANY marine repair facility.

They have always shot it straight with me.

[swilliams]

Well, I appreciate the information on Gene's, but I called them and they won't work on an Evinrude Ficht and said they didn't know anyone that would. Just my luck.

Back to square one.

Oh well, Time to go buy a mercury!!! ( Rick, I thought you would like that )

[swilliams]

I have been pondering that very idea.

My needs just outweigh my wants so I will just have to wait.
