Title: merc mechanic in grand rapids
Post by: Redbone on May 23, 2012, 10:13:51 AM
My boat runs sweet about 80% of the time.  The other times it runs rough.  I am almost positive it is an accelerator pump. My wife finally just told me to take it in.  Vans and camp n cruise are booked for the next two weeks, and they both have first come first serve, and that means I have to just drop it off :-[. I know this is the worst time of year to get service.

Camp n cruise at least sounded like they would work around my tourney schedule. And that is nice because I am not dead in the water and I can still fish. I would prefer someone that was certified, not just a guy with spare time. Basically I am looking for other options. Any ideas?

If you want it done, and don't mind driving to Muskegon, take it to Wildwood Marine. The owner's name is Larry Pennington. He is excellent. Sometimes hard to get ahold of though. 231-744-5435.

There is also Sportfishermen's Service Center. They are right next to Fisherman's Landing. Their number is 231-722-1310. Ask for Mike.

I am very happy with both places. Nothing bad to say about either one. I know you wanted GR area, but if you can get it in and done quickly, it's worth a half hour drive.
