But myself being an Outboard Mechanic (although not on Mercs), had I noticed it during my normal motor inspection, based on your service request, I would have called your first to inform you of the nature of your issue. I would have asked you if it was OK to perform the service, given you my honest opinion if the service was indeed need. Give you an estimate and get the OK. Good way to loose a customer by performing work that is not OK'd that isn't under warranty. </td></tr></table>

Thats how it should work
