I work at a marina on Winnipesaukee.
I just recently worked on a "new to the owner" boat. Came from saltwater environment. The owner asked to tune it up. Mercruiser 7.4 with bravo one. The spark plugs were severely rusted into the cylinder head. One actually broke the threads off. Was able to extract the broken piece without damage to engine or dissassembly. The spark plug wires were very old actually arching out in numerous places. Distributor cap & rotor were green & fuzzy. Wires, cap, & rotor were replaced with genuine quicksilver parts & spark plugs are factory recommended ACDelco. Before installing spark plugs threads had antisieze applied to them to aide in removal next time. Fuel filters were replaced aswell (inlet on four barrel carburetor & fuel water seperator). As ice is not out yet the engine will be run when it is time to be put in water & timing will be checked aswell. Ask for a tune-up everything is looked at, replaced if needed or asked to be, & engine runability/timing checked.
Pricing varies per application (Mercruiser, Volvo Penta, OMC, outboards, etc).
Make sure the job is done right the first time so the lake can be enjoyed in a boat instead of being looked at from shore.
Any questions about anything feel free to ask via Private Message. Many years experience in the marine industry around the Lakes Region.
Come on ice out. :-)
