Good boat Mechanic Around OKC

I live in Seminole OK. I recently bought a 2003 Bass Tracker 175. It has the flow rite aerator system. Prior to be owning the boat the aerator pump got hot enough to partially melt the pump and housing. I can not for the live of me figure out how to remove the aerator pump from the Flow-Rite Auto control valve. 3 of us spent 4 hours tonight trying to figure it out. Also the Flow-Rite remote drain control cable is broke. I do not have enough free time to spend any more time on it. I am looking for a boat mechainc that could at a minimum replace the aerator pump for me and can discuss repairing the remote drain system but might leave it unhooked. I would also like to have the throttle cable inspected/adjusted. Sometimes it wont go into reverse without working the throttle a couple times. I have always used a mechanic at Lake Texoma but don't have time to take my boat down there right now and thought you guys might could point me in the right direction of someone closer to me or around the OKC area. Thanks

Sorry, I know mechanics North and East, both about 2-3 hours away.
Hopefully someone will chime in with a local mechanic.
Cabelas has a sharp mechanic, Jerry I think is his name. I think he’s in charge actually.

I have used Boats-N-Moore for 6 years or more for ALL of my boat and engine needs. They are HONEST, use COMMON SENSE and REASONABlE on their prices. Personally I work with Jimmy who works 4 days a week. They are located off the 12th street exit in Moore and then a little South. The number is 405-799-9933. I had them replace my water pump in January of 2017. I had not used the boat since until I tried to start it this week. I got it running but the motor was not spurting water so I shut it off and call them. Rick told me to just let it run with the water bra spewing water for a few minutes until the thermostat opened up and it should be fine. It worked. He didn't tell me to bring it in so they could look at it and charge me. He said follow his instructions then call him back if need be. Like I said he helped me without costing. The people have been this helpful all these years so I highly recommend them. I don't think you will be sorry.
