Precisions One Stop Boat Shop

In for:

1. Oil change, plugs, and rotor cap. (Season maintenance 50 hr.)

2. I/O low unit service.

3. Exhaust manifolds (recommended by them to be changed). That did not solve the problem of one side over heating. But, they are new now; so one problem less for the future.

4. One coat of bottom paint.

5. One trim switch for outdrive, installed.

6. One solar panel installed, for battery support.

7. Trailer in a 25ft boat from marina to shop and back. 2.5 Hrs. Per trip.



5 months!! and $8,000!!!! Dollars later, I got my boat back !!!!. And I have to remove the heat exchanger and send it to clean and repair after, because they still returned the boat with a more than 40 degrees difference, in temperature, between PORT and STB side manifolds and said it was “normal”. Mercruiser Racing does not recommend more than 20 degrees. I corrected and re-installed the heat exchanger. The difference is only 12 degrees.



Also, my boat had paint from other boat on all of the port side; they tried to cleaned, “sanded” and scratch the hull, and did not mention anything, hoping for me not to “notice”. They also, crack a STB side panel in the process of wiring for that trim switch, but forgot to mention.



I do understand that they will make money on the parts that they order for you. But, for example, Seachoice Solar Panel-1300Ma SCP-14341, 189.95 charged, and the part is actually sold for $130 (tax and shipping included). That is a 46% handling fee, that I find out because I decided to make the research (too late).



Plus, I asked and asked for estimates prior to the work, they never had the “time” to make them. The owner’s prays very well about their reputation and years in the business and their “reasonable and fair hourly rates for a job well done”.



“Precision” was recommended by the Deering Bay Marina dock master Alex. What a disappointment. Yes a 5 months + $8,000 dollars one.
