same as last year,an issue that cost me 1300 dollars that was never fixed. needless to say ,I won't give that outfit another chance. the engine is running on 5 cylinders and skips at idle.there is a long story to this but I don't want to get into it here.I'm hoping Vt. home and marine can fix it.

That's what my Merc was doing when a coil went bad. But big Merc's are known to have that problem with coils. I told my dealer, took awhile but he confirmed it. Thing was, the problem only showed when motor under pressure (prop running in a tank), computer didn't pick up problem until then.

Good luck Frank.
I hope you're on the water trouble free soon.
I'm sure the folks at VT Home & Marine will do all they can to get you running smoothly.
We'll see you on the big puddle......

well,I'm happy that Vt. Home and Marine figured out what was wrong,,,last year it was in a different shop 3 different times and they never figured it out. At least this way I will have a boat that runs for the summer(knock on wood)

BOAT UPDATE,finally got the boat back from Vt. Home and Marine,hooked the water up and started her up and she purred like a kitten for 15 seconds and then quit! tried it 4 more times and called Bob who said try it while revving the throttle to get the air out of it and that worked and now she runs great.Can't wait to get her in the water.Looks like they did a good job,new ECM,new gas lines and filters and change gear oil.we'll see.
