$572....I'll do it for $400 It ain't an F-16 ya know!Rg
Here is what they did for the $350 -stabilized my fuel in the tank - about 15-18 gallonsFogged both motorsPumped pink antifreeze thru each motorPulled props on each motor, inspected shaft seal and for any fishing line, etc., re-greased prop shaftsDrained lower unit greasePressure checked each lower unit (part of prop seal check above).Filled lower units with new synthetic 80W-90 greaseDrained crankcase oil in each motorchanged oil filter on each motorrefilled each motor with 10W-30 synthetic oil.On each drain plug - replaced the gasket (these are $2.5-$3 each on Amazon)The above was for slightly less than $350 (about $175 per motor - but not exactly because the kicker takes less motor oil and lower unit grease than the main motor)So figure there was like $75 in parts for each motor.That leaves about $100 for the labor.They get $75 per hour, which is not bad for a dealer.Also, the $350 included NY sales tax, which would be about $28 of the $350Which skews my numbers above slightly.I got a very detailed reciept that I scanned and saved for my records.It breaks down everything in detail.I spent time last night looking it over again.Everything looks acceptable.Like I said, I was kind of surprised the prices they charged for the parts.They were very close to what I'm going to spend on Amazon.But I also know they don't pay what we do for these parts.They get things in bulk, and they also get pricing discounts.They sell parts then at list, making something on the parts too.But I can do the job myself for less.Because my time, like Bob's, isn't worth anything. The big savings is the labor cost. For now.Because in 4-5 years I won't have to winterize by boats anymore.
This is exactly what I had done to my motor last year. It cost me $232.00 total, out the door. (northeast PA). Plus my hour+ drive, gas, breakfast and the wait. I have to get this done yearly by a certified dealer due to the platinum warranty on my motor until 2019. Otherwise, I would probably do it myself.
I are confusedPost #1= $572Post#3= slightly less than $350Post #9= $130I'll admit that I'm not sure if you are bitching or bragging.
Post #1 - My bill last year was for $572, but it included some non-winterizing work on the boat.Post #3 - After pulling out the non-winterizing stuff, it was like $350.Post #9 was Raquettedacker. and not sure where you got the $130 figure.
