I have a 50 hp 2 stroke that is almost 2 years used now. I have change the lower unit oil. other than that I have not had it serviced. I think I need to get just a good maintenance service on it. Any recommendations in the OB / Southaven area?

Gonna carry him my Merc in December and get it tuned, carbs completely gone thru and tuned. Not satisfied with my work, it'll do but there is more there to get and I want it all. Mike used to race and was running the same motor I have so he know it like the back of his hand.
Mile knows EVERY Mercury like the back of his hand!!!!!

None better than Mike!
Does anyone know his hourly rate? The Merc guy that I spoke to wanted near $500 to clean three carbs and swap out a water pump impeller.
All I can tell you is that he is fair, not gonna skin ya. If he does 500 bucks worth of work you will get 500 bucks worth of work.
Labor is $90 hour. Mike will only do what is needed and shoot ya straight for sure.
X2 and that is pretty such a stanard rate around here.Quote:

That is the kind of people you like to deal with. We need a lot more like him.
