New boat in for service, how long is a reasonable wait?

[ericinmich]

It's a tough business model. For most of the year there's not enough work to keep many marine mechanics on staff full time. And good ones are hard to find. Then once the season starts everyone shows up...

The mechanic water tested it yesterday and it ran fine for him?
Intermitten problem or bad gas maybe ?

Well guys I can totally feel your pain ,I took my boat in at the end of April with a clearly typed out list of all the issues , and they Said I could take up to a month ,and I Said no problem , cause it was still cold here , and 2months later , stuff still wasnt done and the butcher job they did on my e-button install sent me over the top , and these guys are one of tige's best dealers with awards and the like ?? Look at the hole they drilled and missing metal section on the vent bracket and the viper usb port just left dangling this I crap!!! before and after pic !!

The low pressure fuel pump was not the problem, told it would be fixed by today and as usual it sat all week and no one touched it, ive lost 3 weekend and and burned lots of uel and time dropping off and picking it up, there is no sence of urgency to make my boat a priority, better off if I bought a used boat.

With all due respect to the good dealers out there - horror stories like this are exactly why I try very hard to do all of my own work on my boat.

Last diognostic is that there is a recall on the anti surge fuel canister, it has been ordered although I know im back on the service wait list again
