Good service

[pounnder]

Just wanted to pass along some info. I fried my "2000" 150 Optimax a week ago and left it with LOTW Marine. They went to bat for me with Merc and are providing excellant service. I recommend them if you need any service. Thanks<BR>

I've had great luck with them too. Al is a great guy and really knows his stuff. My dad has been going there for a long time and has been really happy with the service.<BR>Scoot

Here is another positive story for service<BR>at LOW marine.<P>My Cousin was here last weekend with his<BR>2000 1850 Crestliner and 150 Johnson. Friday night the oil lights and alarms started going crazy. With the entire weekend<BR>ahead and immediate attention required we<BR>called Al saturday morning and he said "bring<BR>it in". We got there at 9am and were all<BR>set by a little after 10.<P>I have respected LOW Marine since back when<BR>Vern owned the place and it is good to see<BR>Al is Superman also.<P>Nice people too.<P><P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio

Box Car, I will be up this weekend - Hopefully merc sends out all of the stuff needed for Al to put motor back together - new powerhead and injectors. I feel naked with out my baby. We will have guests with us.

Pounnder , Did you ever find out what the cause of the meltdown was on your optimax? Was just curious , I too have a 2000 150...If that baby frys....hello 175 Yamaha!!

[pounnder]

The 2000's have had problems with the fuel injectors - look at the tops of them and see what color they are. If the heads are black, it is the old / bad style. If they are green, they are the new style. The old style have had grounding problems. I think that was my problem - a bad injector which created "melt down" Merc is providing new injectors and a new power head. We think this was the problem - When all is fixed, I will let you know for sure. Check your injectors though and see if merc will replace.

Thanks for the info Pounnder , I'll be checking out those injectors when i get home tonight. A relative is a merc. dealer so maybe i can swing a deal if i need them replaced and merc won't do it. Let me know how you come out on the deal.

WELL LOW MARINEA CAME ACROSS AGAIN GOT A CHECK FROM JENNEY FOR WARR OF CANON DOWNRIGGER THAT I BROKE THE BODY ON. THEY HAVE MY VOTE!!!!!!!!

Just a follow up on my 150 optimax- Picked it up early October. Merc replaced the powerhead and fuel injesctors, I paid for labor and an oil pump. The powerhead they sent was bad and they sent out yet another one and another oil pump! All said and done - it cost me $850. Sounds bad, but it was out of warrenty and might have cost me a whole lot more if Merc hadn't stepped up to the plate(an inherent problem is maybe the reason?) The cause was a faulty oil pump not sending oil to one cylinder. The fault was on the back side which does not have an alarm on it. Motor works great now!! I was out a couple of times in October fishing the Gap (I saw you Curt)We did pretty good. See you all on the hard stuff.
