Maybe you could get it done by Race Marine who supplied and Rigged it when your down this way in the Summer Mate?
I can certainly vouch for him!

In that case don't take it back to whoever did the last service what is it with these feckwits.

3 years for a waterpump is pushing it already. even if it looks ok the Impellor will have stiffened and won't be as effective.

Just do it yourself, at least you know it will have been done properly !

You'd think for the price they charge Chris for a service they would do it right first time £400 & £65 of that was for parts plugs - oil-fuel filter rest was labour & vat

I gave up with main dealer servicing a couple of years back, a guy in caernarfon services the Honda 150 now, maybe missing out on the warranty but at least it's getting a proper service, peace of mind goes a long way!

As long as they use genuine parts surly your still covered with warranty

most likely Mick, but I was more interested in a good service than the warranty, I think the warranty is more to do with being tied to dealer servicing etc than providing warranty repairs, but maybe that's just the cynic in me

oh yes, 90 don't go nowhere near the dealer, load of rubbish, use a local guy we've known for years, does a good job on all the motors, pity he don't do outboards, oh now there's a thought, ring Ian next week about outboards

No don't he will want to test run before and after lol lol

[Pikey Dave]

I use Eddie at Beeston Marina in Nottingham. He charged me a sensible price & all the old bits that he changed were attached in a bag to each engine. He also did my gearboxes for me when I "found" that rock last year, top bloke.

give Jeff (Hutcheon) a shout, I'm sure he'll be keen to practice on yours, his warranty is up later this season so he'll be doing the same as you soon enough, n he's got 40 years worth of snapon scanners to play with
