fisher Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I am getting the wire from the control arm (the shifter) to the motor replaced by a marine mechanic. Approximately What would it cost me parts and labour? 40 horsepower mercury and it is an 11 foot wire. Thanks Edited August 12, 2012 by fisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBCregal Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 if its the throttle control, i'd imagine its a cable and not a wire? didnt you get an estimate from the shop before you ok'd the work? i think an hr or two in labour plus whatever the part costs is somewhat reasonable.

jedimaster Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Same, a couple hours labour maybe 200 or so for that. For parts if its the control cables maybe 100-200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stuck and had a marine mechanic come by the cottage we were staying at for the week and he end up putting in a new cable for $200 all-in. Very reasonable especially since it was a Sunday and his day off and I didn't even have to bring it in. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should post his contact info if he is agreeable. Referrals are a good way to acknowledge good work. On that note, if anybody is in need of a quality marine mechanic in Seguin/Parry Sound area, I would recommend this guy: Andy @ 705-773-2841 Slayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
