Is there any mechanics out there that do work on the side in the Minot area?

Pull the boat to Greg at Dales Motorsports in DL.  Best mechanic in the midwest.  Then when you pick your boat up you can hit the water for a few hours.

YES, I am that foolish!

Well, if Greg is one of the best then he is one of the third best I have heard about.  Kevin and Tim at North Country Marine are more than qualified.  They are located just to the north of Krolls.

I was hoping to find someone that did it on the side so I could just pay them.  I know the mechanics dont make $85 and hour.

Yup, the marine boys charge $85 an hour.

I don't know anyone that does side work.

Eyexer,
 

I have been getting water into my lower unit and I assume a reseal job is in order.

If you don't mind pulling it to Bismarck, Jake's Small Engine Repair is where I take mine.  Even though he does his mechanic work on the side of a full time job, he gets it done pretty quickly.

He does a good job and he stands by his work.  I have had him do several jobs for me and I have been nothing but satisfied.  I can't remember his labor rate but it is far under a marine dealership.

luveyes,

Hey, wasn't meaning anything.  Just that ND has some great mechanics out there.

You dialed in for the Chamber?  Good luck to you boys.

Tim,

Cant fish the Chamber!  I have to work and couldnt get off for the weekend.  I am gonna go up nd help Permo prefish tomorrow and maybe Friday.  We (he) are still on fish though.  The punk replaced me in his boat and I am physically ill not to be able to fish the tourney with him.  Gets addicting after awhile and I need my "fix".

Looks like perfect weather for the 2 techniques in store for the tourney!!

YES, I am that foolish!

I had new seals and water pump put in at Jeffs Sport Shop, and was surprised when I go tthe bill.  I think it was less than $200.  I have had a few buddies take stuff there and no problems.  No one in our group of has had a return because it wasn't right either.

The head mechanic for Jeff's is now at North Country Marine.  Just a heads up.

Seriously,  call Cary at 6 Mile Corner(east of Garrison).   They have worked on my boat three times.    Each time they charged me a reasonable price.    I'd trust them long before I'd take it to some boat dealer.   I'm always skeptical with the honesty of a mechanic shop.   Far too easy for any mechanic to diagnose some expensive fix.    
What I'm getting at is 6 Mile Corner has always been good to me over the years and probably will be to you.    Just my $.02.   Good luck.
