Which may not matter if it gets you back on the lake faster.

i understand what you are saying fishinwrench.  but, that is why outboards are way too high.  why not get the part engine and parts right before offering them to the consumer.  how long would anyone continue to buy any brand of vehicle with the failure rate of outboards?

very good point about why a dealers 6 month old part may not be the best repair for today.

I love to pick on Mercury this way.   Merc is without a doubt the fastest outboard,  and they also strive to be the quickest to get stuff on the market....They always gotta be FIRST.   

To them it is worth it to operate like that, and apparently all thier faithful followers don't mind.   But I do !

I got to Grove Marine in Oklahoma yesterday at 10:00 and traded my 60 fourstroke for a 75 optimax they swapped it and i was on the road at 2:10. But yeah ,they knew i was coming too.

If given the choice, I would rather have a Big Johnson!

"Kelly said yesterday we want everyone in and out in a day and never wants to tell a customer, we will have to order that."

Sounds like a goal for his business to me, which is what all businesses should have - a goal of customer satisfaction. Not always are the goals met  but it is something for his company to strive for. 

Just my 2 cents and I have never done business with them.

Cheesemaster,    I'm sure every repair center WANTS that.  In the end it is best to avoid rushing work out though.  Surely you agree.

Not all repairs are quickie parts swaps, sometimes it takes a little research and some time to think before a situation is fully understood and can be properly rectified.  

That piece of certification" paper techs have hanging on the wall only means that they held a chair down somewhere for awhile.

In the construction Biz when a home owner was complaining about time we used to say " Do you want it done right? Or right NOW"

I would not like to be on the receiving end of a rushed job when I am looking for quality and longevity. You are right there.
