my 200 merc is blowing 20 amp fuses...  where do you take your boat when you need it back very quickly?  most places say 2 weeks plus right now, and i have tournaments before then...  does anyone have a place that will hook you up quickly?  motor is under warranty, but i am willing to pay for quick service.. thanks, derrek

J.R. at Ohio Marine in Coldwater is good.  He had my power head diagnosed, ordered, shipped and replaced in under 14 days.  That's some record service for warranty work.  I dont have the number off hand but it's in the book and on the web.

On the East side there's Dee's Marine at Groesbeck and 16 Mile.  I'm not sure how good they are at major engine repair so don't hold me to it, but for simple things like you've described I've had good experiences with them.  They don't seem to be as backed up as most.  They haven't screwed up anything of mine.  For serious repair work, I always take my boat to Rose Marine in Algonac.  They're always backed up, but it's always done right the first time.

When I had my Stratos Wonderland Marine always made sure I had my boat back in time for my tournaments. The one time in 7 years that they couldn't I took it to N&K Marine in Gregory. I blew out the hydraulic steering on a Wednesday. I dropped my boat off Thursday afternoon and they had it done Friday evening. The price was right too.

Their number is: 734-498-2494

Superior Boat & Motor in Stanton sponsors tournaments around here and promises to have any tournament fisherman an answer same day (assuming you don't drop it off at quittin time).  Number is 989-831-5727.  Specializes in Merc, too.
