Not aimed at you just had a few too many bad experiences but there are a lot of very friendly and helpful people on rib net so it kind of restores my faith in people. Many thanks for the advice cheers Nigel :-)

I'll vouch for Clyde Outboards ! Great firm to deal with although I believe Dave can be a bit Grumpy...... Cameron seems happy enough though!!

Full service to a evinrude ficht 115 and reset of the "crank housing sensor"??? £748.... Amazing that the cost doubles when it's all about pleasure.

Kieron from ribshop ( SWANWICK) was recommended to me by another ribnet member . He fitted a radio for me and did a good job at a fair price . I know they service engines might be worth a call
