Okay, so I may have been a bit quick to buy the boat I have, but the wife didn't fight me on it and my dad liked it too. BUT a couple of weeks later and it threw a rod through the block $$$ and I'm not mechanical (it's why I fish!). So short story long, I buy a used boat to switch it's motor onto my new boat, switch the motors, sell the boat, trailer, but keeps the hotfoot and ask the mechanic to set it up and when he's done I'll be by to pick it up and get the old motor. 2 weeks later he calls me, I take out the boat, fire under the cowling, somethings wrong and take it back for another week. He uses parts of my old motor, but a friend looks at it and says its rigged. I have no confidence in his work and wonder when I drive it.
So I go to another dealer to have him really check my motor over and install a water pressure gage. I get it back and he says it's good and explains a few things, but when I take it out I notice that the water pressure gage doesn't register. They tell me to come back and I do, say it's fixed now, but next time I'm out it pops the tube right off the back of the gage and pees on my leg the entire time. I figure it must be because there's not quick tie on it to keep it there. I put one one and now notice that the wpg is pegged when I run it (up to 30psi on a 150XR6). Either I have the wrong gage or they have again not completed the job.

It's just frustrating when your boat spends more time behind a shop's gate than on the water and leaves you wondering if they are just taking your money. This is when I wish I had more mechanic like skills to know what to do or look for.
