Suggestions for boat motor mechanic- N. MS

Postby ducktrooper » Sat Mar 28, 2009 9:24 pm

Just bought an older model 9.8 HP Mecury and want to get it checked out. Any suggestions on reasonable and honest boat motor mechanic/shop? Thanks.

Mike Tabor at Southern Marine in Olive Branch does great work. I believe all he works on is mercury/mariner so you should be ok.

If horn lake marine is chucks marine (or what use to be chucks) you would be better off letting my 6 year old work on your motor than take it there.
