Guys, still have not figured out the situation with the boat not going over 2500 rpms when in gear. I need to get someone to look at it. I was referred to 3A marine, but they can't get eyes on it for 2 weeks. The boat is inCharlestown, and puts along fine....Any ideas? Any of you guys adept at trouble shooting this prob? Or have a good place locally where I can take it?

which mfgr?

I have no experience myself with repair places close to boston but I've had friends reccomend Bill's Outboard I think in Hingham. Is that too far out?

You could try Monihan's in Weymouth. I believe they do engine work. Call to check first though.

try Maclullan{sp?} in everett. near the harley place

Monahans is very good for service. They will let oyu pick their brain as well

Monahn's is a great place with great people (Marty is a great mechanic) But I would guess they are busy as hell now.
Bill's in Hingham is a Mercury place.
3A sucks (I wouldn't let them fix my kids bicycle)
There is a guy @ Berts boat yard in Weymouth you want to go to.
Max's outboards.
He specializes in Johnsons, has a small shop, does road calls if it is easier for you.
And won't rip you off !
I'll try to find his # and post it here.

Slips Capeway is a little far maybe (Raynham on Rt.44) but I'm pretty sure they work on Johnsons. They did some very good work for me on an Evinrude a few years ago.

it sounds like a S.L.O.W. have you checked your vro pump? they have been failing like crazy, if you want to give me a call tomorrow evening I can walk you through how to check it

Zeoli Marine in Revere works on Johnsons. I've been using them now for 3 or 4 years and I've been real happy with their work, although I don't know how backlogged they are. They are on the Pines River in Revere and have a dock that you can tie up to.

You can call Chris Viarella at 617-846-2800...he should be able to help you out.

Good luck...

Run away from 3a, Monahans has been great to me when I was living in the area.

Like Ron said, Max in Weymouth. Monahans will be busy as hell right now, probably would not look at your motor for 3+ wks. Max has been in the biz for 30 + yrs. a good chit and won't rip ya off.
