Tohatsu outboard service Sussex area

Can anyone recommend the best place for me to have my 9.8hp 2 stroke serviced. I live in Surrey but work along the Sussex coast much of the time so this area would be preferred. I could take it down Hampshire but that would have to be a weekend.

Trade directory shows one in Crawley which would have been ideal (The Bosun's Mate) but it's a broken link.

Thanks in advance.

I'd do it yourself, no simpler engine and it takes about 1/2 hour - plugs, gear oil, bit of grease on bolts, pivots, prop, bolt tightening, clean fuel filter, pick up etc and that's it.

It's kept in a storage place at the moment so i've nowhere to work on it.

I'm getting a garage in a couple of months so hopefully I can look after it myself then. I'd like to get it on the water before then though.
