Mercury service

[FishOn]

Can I please get someone to recommend a good place to have my Mercury 4 stroke engine diagnosed and repaired. I am in Markham and willing to travel a good distance if the shop is reasonable and does a good job.

they have to be licensed Mercury technicians.

 

Thanks

What's wrong with the motor?

if I had to take mine in I'd go to bay city marine in Hamilton. Worth a call to verify the mercury licensed tech part. Clarence is very good to deal with.

City Marine in Mississauga. Certified Mercury technicians.

They are 2 minutes from the boat launch @ Promenade Park so you can take it directly to the lake for a test drive after service.

Let them know Simon referred you

I second Top Gun Marine for Merc.

75 Mercury 4 stroke EFI. It starts hard and when it does start black smoke is coming out (from the exhaust mixed with fuel and oil) . its like running an engine on choke only. To me it looks like its running only on two cylinders, but I could be wrong.I did some research and it could be a fuel problem with the Module fuel supply regulator. Apparently there is a small 1/8" hose that could crack and start sending too much fuel.

While running the alarm sounded and I did shut the motor down. I am hopping there will be some codes stored in the ECU.

 

Anyways, the engine has set for over a year and it has less than 50hrs on it. I have to get it checked

There used to be a Mercury outboard shop around Steels and Dufferin are.Close to the 407 Head Office. I forgot the name of the shop. It was a unit in a strip mall. Extreme something???

They worked on my Mercury Optimax a while back and did a great job.

I will keep an eye on the post and see who gets the best vote and give them my bussines.

 

Thanks!

Thanks to all. Solved my problem. it was a cracked vacume hose in the fuel regulator module. Engine is running like a champ now.

[frodobuggins]

which place did you end up taking it to?

[John Bacon]

Central Outboard Marine on Woodbine north of #7 carries Mercury. I bought mine there, and others have mentioned that they were happy with the service there. A lot closer than Hamilton.

I know you've got it looked after but I should mention Xtreme Marine in Etobicoke for future consideration. Tony is excellent and extremely fair.
