Good Mercury Dealer - Need Recomendations
I need to get my Optimax serviced.

The boat is based in Southampton.

Need recomendations on who to use please.

Also, what should I be paying for an annual service on a 225 Opti with the impellor changed?

Thanks all.

I find Bembridge Outboards very nice to deal with:

Fairweather for me too. Very good at what they do, plus they really do get on with the job.

Lee at fairweather is a good Opti man but the best outboard guy I know is Mark Bleaker MB marine Ocean Quay but he may have a bit of a waiting list
